Rotary InstrumentsConventional hand files in Endodontics,for decades have been proven to giveoptimum success in endodontictreatment with the introduction of NiTi fileswhich offers high flexibility thus aiding theendodontist work on extremely curved

roots.

Rotary InstrumentsThe new generation of endodonticinstruments take advantage of thegreater flexibility and resistance tofracture of NiTi (Nickel-Titanium) Alloy.These newer files are utilized in enginedriven handpieces that are far superior to

the traditional stainless steel hand filingsystems.

InGeT System

Very compact head: 6.5mm diameter and 7.5mm high.

Increased visibility of the operative field. Better visibility of the instrument when it

is inserted in the canal and better visionof the instrument while working.

Considerable reduction of the totallength of the instrument + contra-anglehead in the mouth

Exceptional working comfort

Dental MicroscopesGood Visibility is one of the concerns in Endodontics. Visibility ofroot canals while doing root canal therapy is a factor in asuccessful treatment in Endodontics

New treatment modalities have been developed which takeadvantage of the increased magnification and illumination ofthe operating field, providing the endodontist with visualcontrol over very detailed procedures.

Irrigation SystemOne SOP in root canal preparation is Irrigation, failure toirrigate may cause improper preparation of the canal or evenfailure to reach the working length due to the formation of

dentin mud.

Different irrigation systems are now available in the marketoffering different ways of irrigating the canal.

Vimbringe (Sonic Irrigation System)Is the first endodontic sonic irrigation system that enablesactivation of the irrigation solution.

The activation of the disinfectant enriches and completes your irrigation procedure and improves the success rate of your endodontic treatments

Results have shown that this system significantly improvesdebridement of the canals
