## Protocol

### Glide Path

1. **Manual Glide Path** — Establish a manual glide path with ISO 010 / 015 K-files to working length and irrigate with NaOCl before introducing the rotary set (per Perfect Dental IFU family precautions — T-Flex brochure has no dedicated IFU section).
2. **Coronal Opening with 20/.10** — Use the 20/.10 (17 mm) opener to widen the orifice and establish a vertical channel (per brochure spec table). _(File: 20/.10 · 300-400 rpm · 2.5 N·cm)_
3. **Mechanical Glide Path with 15/.03** — Carry the 15/.03 glide-path file to working length following the manual scout (per brochure spec table). _(File: 15/.03 · 300-400 rpm · 1.5 N·cm)_

### Shaping

1. **Shape with 20/.04 → 25/.04** — Use 20/.04 followed by 25/.04 to working length at 300–400 rpm and 2.0–2.5 N·cm torque (per brochure spec table). _(File: 20/.04 then 25/.04 · 300-400 rpm · 2.0-2.5 N·cm)_
   - Brand cites high-purity black NiTi alloy with low carbon/oxygen impurities for improved performance (per brochure marketing claim)
   - Heat-treated geometry follows the curved canal axis to reduce ledging, central deviation, transportation, and deformation (per brochure)
2. **Finish with 25/.06** — Finish wider canals with 25/.06 at the same motor settings (per brochure spec table). _(File: 25/.06 · 300-400 rpm · 2.5 N·cm)_

### Finishing

1. **Confirm Apical Preparation** — Verify final apical preparation with a matching hand file; irrigate, dry, and proceed to obturation.

## Clinical Tips

- High-purity NiTi alloy is described as having low carbon and oxygen impurities (per brochure marketing claim — not independently verified)
- T-Flex is positioned for curved anatomy; brand claims suitability across simple and complex root canals (per brochure)
- Low resilience is cited as reducing ledging, central deviation, and canal transportation (per brochure)

## Warnings

- Single-use; discard after each canal (per Perfect Dental IFU family precautions — T-Flex brochure has no dedicated IFU section)
- Do not autoclave above 200 °C including drying phase (per Perfect Dental IFU family precautions — T-Flex brochure has no dedicated IFU section)
- Do not fully immerse in NaOCl; only the working part may contact a max 5% NaCl solution for up to 5 minutes (per Perfect Dental IFU family precautions — T-Flex brochure has no dedicated IFU section)
- Use minimal apical pressure; never force the file (per Perfect Dental IFU family precautions — T-Flex brochure has no dedicated IFU section)
- Inspect each file for distortion, unwinding, corrosion, or damaged edges before use (per Perfect Dental IFU family precautions — T-Flex brochure has no dedicated IFU section)
- Contraindicated in patients with nickel allergy (per IFU)

## Contraindications

- patients with known nickel allergy (per IFU)
