Product Description

In order for Nickel Titanium files to help accomplish the objectives of root canal therapy, they must provide safety, torsional strength and flexibility, efficient cutting, and appropriate sizing to suit all canal morphology. This must all be accomplished without removing ANY unnecessary tooth structure. That is the X-Factor.

The Power of “10”

X-Factor™ NiTi files accomplish all of these objectives. The key to this is 10. Each X-Factor instrument has a patented (pending) design with a TEN (X) millimeter fluted cutting zone, unlike most rotary files which have a 16mm (or greater) fluted portion.

The many benefits of this design feature are:

Less of the file engaged which means less stress on the file. Less stress on the file means less chance of breakage.
A specific, identified portion of the file is engaged, not just spinning in the pulp chamber or removing unnecessary tooth structure as the apical portion of the file navigates the canal.
The operator is more aware of the shape dimensions throughout the procedure, as the diameter of the orifice is easily calculated (taper x 10 + tip diameter). It is easy to know the canal diameter at ANY point in the root, improving confidence in file selection.
Less is more. A defined cutting zone means more safety, more precision, and more confidence in a less invasive shape.

Product Features:

Size determination has never been easier
Advanced design: no “screw-in” effect
Shaft is parallel above the flutes for greater visibility and more efficient debris removal
Torsional strength of X-Factor instruments well exceeds industry and ADA standards (comparisons available upon request)
Strength: X-Factor files have a square cross-section with an inner core that is 50% of the file, as much as 18% greater than files with a triangular cross-section
Laser etched calibration rings do not weaken the instrument
Environmentally-friendly manufacturing process. Neither the X-Factor, nor any of its materials, are subjected to harsh chemical processes that jeopardize the integrity of the product or the environment.
Over 100 years of combined dental and manufacturing knowledge are behind the design and production of X-Factor Minimally Invasive NiTi Files
