How to Use
Quick Attachment of File to the EndoHandle:
Just unscrew the long handle from the small locking chamber enough to allow the small handle of the standard endodontic file to enter the locking chamber, then tighten up the long handle for a secure firm grip on the file.
- Find, Explore and Negotiate
Using the endoHandle with a small size file, "Fingers are out of the way" Finding, Exploring, and Negotiating the canal to the approximate apex is better visualized. - Establish the Glide Path to the Apex
Select small size file that will go to the approximate apex with very light resistance. The file "cuts on the way out" bringing the debris out of the canal. Use Many Small 2-5 mm amplitude strokes with force directed toward the outside of the curved canal. Keep the Canal wet and irrigate often. - Working Length File with Electronic Apex Locator
Simply attach the Electronic Apex Locator clip to the shank of the microFile (use small size file), Adjust the rubber stop, and read the measurement. - Patency File
Quickly re-negotiate the canal by using the endoHandle with a small size file as a "Patency File" to reduce "block-out" and keep the canal open. Irrigation and re-negotiation with the "Patency File" is effective in removing the "dentin-mud" from canal preparation. - Mid-Root Canal Enlargement
Larger EndoHandle, K-Files, or "Flare Files" enlarge the mid-root and prepare a smooth path flow from apex to orifice. Hedstrom files are particular effective. - Retreatment Cases
Obstacle removal (silver points, thermoplastic points, old gutta-percha, paste fills, etc) is better visualized with the EndoHandle. Hedstrom files are particular effective. - Sealer Placement
Easy placement of sealer with a #20 K-MicroFile. Coat all the canal walls by gently pumping the sealer down the canal
