EdgeOne Fire
Heat-treated reciprocating files built with premium technology for endodontic success
In my experience, many endodontic files are prone to unwinding—that is, with the exception of the EdgeOne Fire. While I previously used files from another leading endodontic manufacturer, switching to EdgeEndo’s NiTi reciprocating files has allowed me to provide safer, more effective endodontic treatment. The instruments in this advanced 4-file system are flexible and durable, which reduces root canal treatment time, while the Glidepath for EdgeOne Fire, in particular, gives me sufficient access for effective irrigation.
The following 2 cases demonstrate how the premium technology built into EdgeEndo files helps me easily navigate canals and achieve successful outcomes.
Case #1
This case was referred to me by a doctor who was unable to negotiate his patient’s tortuous, ledged, and calcified canals, possibly because he did not have the ideal instruments for the case. During treatment, I negotiated the patient’s canals to apex using my #8 and #10 files. From there, I used the EdgeEndo Glidepath file, which performs ideally in tight canals. When it began to bind after 1–2 mm, I paused to irrigate the area, recapitulated with my #10 file, and reentered with the Glidepath file to length.
Recapitulation and irrigation are important steps for preventing terminus blockage and excessive debris in the canal binding of the rotary file, and decrease the risk of breakage. To finish the case, I used a primary file size for EdgeOne Fire and a single cone technique.
Case #2
The patient presented with necrotic canals on teeth Nos. 28 and 29 and a fistula. I established a glidepath with my #10 file before using my EdgeOne Glidepath to lengthen, taking care to recapitulate and irrigate when needed. Before obturation, I used NaOCI in an ultrasonic activator for 30 seconds. Then, I irrigated with EdgeEndo EdgeMix for 30 seconds and with the activator for another 30 seconds before drying the canals and using a single cone obturation technique with Edge-BioCeramic Sealer.
Thanks to the flexibility and ease of use offered by EdgeOne Fire files, I completed these root canals rapidly and safely. Preop and postop images taken 4 months apart display signs of successful healing and an absence of a fistula. I think these files are great tools that every clinician should have.
