Dentsply Protaper Hand Shaping File - 21mm F2 - Pack of 6

Simple and Easy-to-Use

Colour-coded and easy to follow protocol is the same sequence for all canals whether using rotary or hand ProTaper. Matching solutions for obturation are available.

Safe 

Multi-tapered shape minimises file stress so there is less risk of file separation. Guiding tip with rounded ends, minimising deviations from the canal. ProTaper for Hand Use also available for treatment of severely curved canals or for clinicians who prefer to use hand files to facilitate tactile control.

Efficient

Better debris removal due to multitapered shape and increased apical taper for better canal cleaning. 

Quality 

Manufactured by DENTSPLY Maillefer in Switzerland.

Shaping Files  

Shaper 1 (S1) prepares the coronal portion of the canal. The instrument performs its own Crown Down approach establishing a large glide path due to the multiple tapers it exhibits along the cutting portion. This provides passive penetration for the next instrument in the series.

Shaper 2 (S2) prepares the middle portion of the canal. This instrument refines the shape in the body of the canal to accommodate the safe placement of the first finisher. 

Sx provides increased coronal flare and is a substitute for traditional Gates Glidden. It is 19mm long and has 9 compacted tapers from D0 – D9. Shaping instruments S1 and S2 are now available in 21mm, 25mm and 31mm versions. 

Finishing Files

ProTaper Universal Finishing files now have less aggressive, rounded tips to avoid apical ledging and transportation. Also, in an effort to increase flexibility the cross-section has been reduced. The coronal taper of the ProTaper Universal finishing file has been further reduced to improve tactile feel apically and minimise the contact area of the instrument to the apical last 4mm only.

• F1 finishes the apical preparation with a tip diameter of 0.20mm and a taper of 7%
• F2 finishes the apical preparation with a tip diameter of 0.25mm and a taper of 8%
• F3 finishes the apical preparation with a tip diameter of 0.30mm and a taper of 9%
• F4 is a new file and finishes the apical preparation in larger canals with a tip diameter of 0.40mm and a taper of 6%
• F5 is a new file and finishes the apical preparation in larger canals with a tip diameter of 0.50mm and a taper of 5%

All files are available in 21mm, 25mm and 31mm. All Hand ProTaper have softer silicone handles for improved tactile feedback and comfort.
