Retreatment File

The SDS Endo Retreatment Files are specifically engineered to efficiently remove gutta-percha and other root canal filling materials during non-surgical endodontic retreatment. Designed for precision, these files do not require the use of solvents, ensuring a safe and controlled removal of the material while preserving the natural anatomy of the root canal. Once the canal is cleared of the old filling, practitioners can proceed with reshaping using their preferred instruments. For optimal results, SDS Endo Retreatment Files work seamlessly with SDS Endo's shaping files, allowing for an effective and thorough retreatment procedure.

Key Features

• Efficient Material Removal: Removes gutta-percha without solvents, saving time and maintaining canal integrity.
• Anatomy Preservation: Designed to respect the natural shape of the root canal, minimizing the risk of transportation.
• Flexible and Durable: Made from Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) alloy for flexibility, reducing fracture risk while adapting to curved canals.
• Cutting Efficiency: Enhanced cutting capabilities ensure quick and precise removal of filling material.
• Non-Cutting Tip: Ensures patient safety and minimizes the risk of perforation or ledge formation.
• Minimally Invasive: The 1mm wire design ensures minimal removal of tooth structure, preserving the root's integrity.

Other Specifications

• Material: Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) alloy for flexibility and resistance to cyclic fatigue.
• Maximum Torque: 2.5 N.cm
• Rotation Speed: 400-800 RPM
• Cross-Section Design: Optimized for efficient cutting and debris removal.
• Sizes: Available in various sizes and tapers to accommodate different canal shapes.

Directions for Use

1. Patient Assessment: Review the patient's dental history and radiographs to assess the need for retreatment.
2. Informed Consent: Discuss the retreatment procedure with the patient, explaining potential risks and benefits.
3. Local Anesthesia: Administer local anesthesia for patient comfort.
4. Isolation and Access:
   • Use rubber dam isolation to maintain a clean and dry field.
   • Create an access opening through the crown to expose the pulp chamber and root canals.
5. Exploration and Assessment:
   • Use diagnostic instruments to evaluate the existing root canal filling material, such as gutta-percha and sealer.
   • Determine the extent of the filling material that requires removal.
6. File Selection:
   • Choose the appropriate SDS Endo Retreatment File size and taper based on the tooth anatomy and canal filling material.
7. File Introduction:
   • Attach the SDS Endo Retreatment File to an endodontic handpiece.
   • Gently introduce the file into the root canal, using slow, controlled rotary motions to engage the existing filling material.
8. Filling Material Removal:
   • Apply light pressure to the file while rotating to cut and remove the gutta-percha and sealer.
   • Progress toward the apex, ensuring the complete removal of the filling material.
9. Irrigation and Debridement:
   • Periodically irrigate the canal with sodium hypochlorite to flush out debris.
   • Use additional instruments as needed to thoroughly clean and shape the canal.
10. Verification and Assessment:
    • Use radiographs to confirm the removal of the filling material and evaluate the cleanliness of the root canal.
11. Final Cleaning and Shaping:
    • Proceed with reshaping the canal as necessary, preparing it for retreatment or obturation.
12. Obturation or Temporary Filling:
    • Depending on the treatment plan, refill the canal with new material or place a temporary seal.
13. Post-Procedure Care: Provide the patient with aftercare instructions for pain management and follow-up appointments.
14. Sterilization: Clean and sterilize the SDS Endo Retreatment Files following standard protocols
