What alloy is 2Shape made from?

2Shape® is manufactured from T.Wire Heat-Treated NiTi with other heat treatment.

How many files are in the 2Shape sequence?

The 2Shape® system includes 4 files: TS1, TS2, F35, F40.

2Shape® uses continuous rotation motion.

2Shape® is best suited for: simplified 2-file shaping, EU/ME market standard, asymmetrical triple helix debris removal.

Recommended settings: 250-400 RPM and 2.0 / 2.5 Ncm across the file sequence (refer to official DFU for full per-file parameters).

File	Tip	Taper	Speed rpm	Torque Ncm
TS1	0.25	.04	250-400	2.0
TS2	0.25	.06	250-400	2.5
F35	0.35	.06	250-400	2.5
F40	0.40	.04	250-400	2.0

All files use 250-400 RPM (per IFU); 300 RPM is a common working speed

2-file core sequence (TS1+TS2) is sufficient for the majority of canals

3-wave progressive pecking technique: 3 gentle up-and-down movements per pass

Circumferential brushing at resistance eliminates primary constraints

T.Wire = post-grinding heat treatment providing improved cyclic fatigue resistance vs untreated NiTi

Asymmetrical triple helix (2 main + 1 secondary cutting edge) reduces screw-in effect and improves debris removal

Maximum 5 canals per instrument if not visually damaged (IFU recommendation)

Compatible One G / One Flare glide path ecosystem available

Matching 2Shape gutta-percha and paper points available for TS2, F35, F40 (per 2026 flyer)

Compatible with all standard endodontic motors (continuous rotation)

Contains nickel and titanium — do not use on patients with nickel or titanium allergy
Do not use for retreatment cases (IFU contraindication)
Check instrument before each use and between canals for signs of damage
Discard immediately if damaged, deformed, or unwound
Maximum 5 canals per instrument recommended — do not exceed
Use continuous rotation at recommended speed (250-400 RPM per IFU) — never reciprocating
Always establish glide path before using rotary files
Use rubber dam during treatment
Do not force files apically — use gentle progressive movement
