Clinical Tips
Most cases require only 2 instruments: Glider + one shaping file
Compatible with any endo motor offering reciprocating counterclockwise mode
FKG Rooter X3000/X4000 has auto-preset for R-Motion (F: auto, R: auto in REC mode)
Manufacturer-reported 3.6x cyclic fatigue resistance vs standard reciprocating systems (internal lab data)
Manufacturer-reported 42% more flexible and 40% less stress on dentine vs standard reciprocating systems (internal lab data)
Manufacturer-reported 60% less transportation (internal lab data)
Heat-treated NiTi allows pre-bending for curved canal access
Electrochemical polishing provides smooth surface finish
Rounded triangular cross-section optimizes cutting efficiency and debris removal
Thinner core design reduces dentine stress during instrumentation
Warnings
- Must use reciprocating (CCW >> CW) motor settings - never continuous rotation
- Single use only - cannot be resterilized or reused
- Contains nickel - do not use on patients with nickel allergy
- Do not force file apically - let it progress passively
- Clean flutes frequently and check for signs of distortion or wear
- If a file does not easily progress, remove and inspect before re-inserting
- Performance claims (3.6x fatigue, 42% flexibility, etc.) are manufacturer-reported internal lab results
Obturation Techniques
Single cone, warm vertical, carrier-based & lateral compaction
