Clinical Tips

Speed: 300 RPM with 2.0 Ncm torque for all files

M-Wire provides greater flexibility than conventional NiTi

Off-centered rectangular cross-section reduces screw-in effect

Swaggering motion minimizes file engagement and canal transportation

Most canals finish with X1 and X2 only — use X3-X5 only when needed

Always use minimal apical pressure — let the file cut progressively

Compatible with ProTaper Gold GP and paper points

Warnings

  • Single-use only — do not reprocess or reuse
  • Contains nickel — do not use on patients with nickel allergy
  • Do not immerse in sodium hypochlorite solution
  • Do not use in severe/sudden apical curvatures — risk of separation
  • Inspect for distortion, uneven flutes, or dull spots before use
  • Discard if any unwinding or deformation observed
