Clinical Tips
All files use 350 RPM; only torque varies (1.3 cNm for 15/.04, 2.0 cNm for all others)
Files are pre-set in VDW.CONNECT Drive motor for automatic settings
Adapted S cross-section provides more space for debris removal than centered designs
Files can be pre-curved thanks to heat treatment
Both pecking and brushing techniques are valid — choose based on canal anatomy
R25/.05 retreatment file available at 400 RPM / 3.5 cNm for GP removal
Matching VDW.ROTATE gutta-percha and paper points available for all sizes
Warnings
- Single-use recommended by manufacturer for patient safety, though files are reprocessable
- Contains nickel — do not use on patients with nickel allergy
- Always inspect flutes for deformation between uses — discard if any unwinding detected
- Do not immerse in sodium hypochlorite solution for extended periods
- R25/.05 retreatment file uses different settings (400 RPM / 3.5 cNm) — do not confuse with shaping settings
- Never force files apically — allow cutting action to progress naturally
