Better File Leverage with Better File Grip
The "pen-grasp" grip can generate substantial more filing leverage than a "two-finger" grip. The power and control of the file’s cutting flutes can be directed toward the outside wall of the canal with much greater efficiency. Steady continuous filing motion is achieved without frequent adjustments of the usual finger grip on the small handle of the file. The endoHandle gives the common file the leverage it deserves.
Universal Handle for Endodontic Instruments
No slippery file grip with the EndoHandle’s patented locking chamber. It securely attaches most endodontic hand instruments to a long dental handle. Visibility is unobstructed with fingers "out of the way" as compared to the usual file grip. K-type files, hedstrome files, and finger pluggers are easily attached to the endoHandle. EndoHandle Simply Advances Endodontic Treatment!
Never Underestimate the Value of Small Size Filing
Small size filing is the key to good "Path Preparation". If you ‘short change’ this important step you will increase the risk of canal enlargement problems. The "First Step" in any procedure is the most important. Do a good job of this and the rest of preparation goes a lot smoother. "Over-working" the small flexible size files can make the difference. It can prevent canal ledging, transportation, and (significantly reduce), rotary file breakage. Make a great path and the rest will follow!
Sealer Placement - Easy and Effective!
Relying on the "bread & butter" method of just passing the master gutta percha cone through sealer and hoping it doesn’t rub off before it gets to the apex, is a wish that doesn’t always come true.
A more reliable method would give better sealer coverage. With the canal "paper-point-dry" the sealer will adhere better to the canal walls. Sealer on the tip of a #20 K File attached to the endoHandle can be deposited precisely in the coronal portion of the canal preparation. With gentle filing / pumping motion the sealer can be worked to the apical portion of the canal and coat the walls along the entire length of the canal preparation. With the endoHandle the clinician can actually see the quality of sealer placement prior to the "buttered" master cone insertion.
