Clinical Tips
K-file free glide path: the Slider can be used directly in most cases
Only one Shaper needed for coronal 2/3 enlargement
Gold heat treatment on Slider/Shaper/F1-F3: +30% flexibility and fatigue resistance vs ProTaper Gold
Blue heat treatment on FX/FXL: dedicated for large straight canals
32% faster glide path and shaping compared to ProGlider + ProTaper Gold up to F2
Finishers will not unwind in the apical third
Use outward brushing motion away from furcation in irregular canals
Compatible with ProTaper Ultimate Conform Fit GP points and absorbent points
