Dentsply Maillefer K- NiTiflex file Endodontic
The nickel titanium alloy used in NITIFLEX is more flexible than any stainless steel alloy available for endodontic instruments. Moreover, the special core geometry and cross section change progressively throughout the range of sizes, giving NITIFLEX files their unique linear flexibility. With conventional stainless steel instruments, thicker files are less flexible than finer ones. By contrast, in a set of NITIFLEX files the flexibility is practically constant throughout the range.
The special alloy, special design and special machining procedures used for NITIFLEX files also give them outstanding long-term sharpness and fatigue strength
With the NITIFLEX file you can use either balanced force or a conventional filing technique. No new techniques are needed, but the clinical work becomes easier
NITIFLEX K-FILE for opening severely curved root canals have outstanding advantages over traditional stainless steel instruments:
NITIFLEX files flex to follow smoothly the curve of the root canal
Whether working with a very fine file or a larger size, the dentist has the same sensitive control over the cutting action
NITIFLEX files require no pre-bending the built-in flexibility of all files in the range prevents transportation or any deformation of the natural curve of the canal
High fatigue resistance
High cutting ability
