What is K type file?

What is K type file?

K Type Files are an endodontic tool designed to offer superior cutting efficiency and precision handling during instrumentation. They feature a twisted design and are manufactured from a square blank to clean and shape the root canals.

What is K file in endo?

Premier K-Files are used to enlarge canal after debridement with a reamer. After reamer, use a file one size smaller than the reamer so that the fragments of dentinal shavings can be carried away from the root-canal walls. Use in clockwise direction (1/4 turn only), then withdraw.

How do you differentiate K and H files?

All K-files are mainly intended for rotary motions inside the canals. On the other hand, H-files are specially designed for shaping canals after they are previously cleaned and enlarged with K-files. They are made out of the ground wire and have a tear-drop cross-sectional shape.

Can K files be autoclaved?

Background: Aim of the study was to compare 4 different methods of sterilizing endodontic files in dental practice. Materials & Methods: The present study was performed on 100 K-files, 21 mm long and of size 25. Results: The study showed that the files sterilized by autoclave and lasers were completely sterile.

What is K reamer?

K-Reamer with three cutting edges Compared to the K-File the K-Reamer has an open spiral design with three cutting edges, a 60° tip and a 120° cutting angle. It is designed to effectively enlarge the root canals. The K-Reamer is also available in nickel titanium name NiTi-K Reamer.

What are K files made of?

K-type files The cutting edge of K type files is made up of twisted squares of stainless steel alloy. The K-flex file differs for the fact it has a rhomboid shaped cross-section and has an increased flexibility compared to traditional K-files.

What is K-Flex file?

K-Flex™ Files K-Flex is more flexible than conventional “K” files of comparable size, particularly in sizes #30 and above, which facilitates the negotiation of curved canals and their preparation with minimal potential for ledging and perforating.

How do I use K file?

It is the instrument most commonly used for cleaning and shaping. The K-file works on the “pull” stroke – that is, by scraping the canal walls as it is withdrawn from the canal. It is advanced to the full working length rotated 1/4 to 1/2 turn clockwise, and withdrawn while being pressed against one of the walls.

What are gutta-percha points?

Gutta-percha, a plastic substance from a Malaysian tree called a percha tree, is used as a permanent filling in root canals. During the root canal procedure, the tooth’s damaged area, known as the pulp, is removed, and the tooth’s canals are cleaned out and disinfected before being filled and sealed.

How do you clean endodontic files?

The protocol comprises 10 vigorous strokes in a scouring sponge soaked in 0.2 per cent chlorhexidine solution, a 30 minute pre-soak in an enzymatic cleaning solution, 15 minutes ultrasonication in the same solution, and a 20 second rinse in running tap water. The protocol can be applied to all endodontic files.

How are endodontic instruments sterilized?

The main methods of sterilization of endodontic files and reamers have been reported to be application of steam under pressure in a steam autoclave,,,, application of dry heat in a sterilizing oven, and sterilization by chemical vapor.

How many sizes of K files are there?

K-files are available in 45 different sizes as listed below. Multi-packs are available. *Please note: We ONLY sell our products to licensed dental or medical practices.

What are the colors of an orange in CMYK?

CMYK oranges and browns Getting a nice, bright orange is easy: it’s two parts yellow, one part magenta (0-50-100-0). Changing the balance of these colors will produce mossy greens, a ruch rust color, or earthy browns. Remember, you should always be careful when using black to make the colors darker.

Can you print a color chart with CMYK?

Some colors are much more challenging to reproduce perfectly in print. The charts below contain a series of CMYK colors that are known to be reliable for offset printing. While we cannot offer exact color matching, we can recommend these relatively safe choices for your designs.

What kind of ink can you use with CMYK?

Just like gold tones, a metallic silver finish is not possible with CMYK printing. Flat or NMM (non-metallic metal) colors are possible, and are shown in the chart below. If you want a true metallic finish, you will need to use a metallic Pantone spot ink to your design.
