From Trial to Trust: File System Spells Success

Over the 2 decades that R.J. Sondkar, DDS, has been practicing, he’s tried a good number of file systems. But about 10 years ago, he had the chance to “give EdgeEndo a try” in his endo workflow. And it was at that point that he made the decision to look no further for a well-performing file system. Why? The San Leandro, CA, clinician sums up his reasoning with just a single word: “confidence.”

“I see no necessity to change or try out other brands,” he shared, “and as a general dentist who offers endodontic treatment to my patients, I am confident in using EdgeEndo files.”

Having participated in a recent DPS product review of the EdgeTaper Blaze Utopia system, Dr. Sondkar found it to be “a well-made file system that is a notch above other brands.”

A rotary file shaping system with a secure and compact 11-mm handle specifically designed for better posterior access, EdgeTaper Blaze Utopia features a variable taper and optimized tip, as well as EdgeEndo's proprietary FireWire Blaze heat-treatment technology for greater cutting efficiency, flexibility, and the ability to maintain curvature in challenging canals.

Resists Breakage, Separation

“This system offers excellent cutting ability that's not overly aggressive, as well as fl exibility, allowing it to work remarkably well after adequate hand fi ling as a needed precursor,” Dr. Sondkar shared. “EdgeEndo fi les offer a range of fi le lengths and sizes with resistance to breakage and separation, and the durability of the fi les gives me confi dence and assurance."

Resilient to unwinding, and featuring a triangle-shaped cross section and noncutting tip, the system includes 2 shaper sizes and 3 fi nishing fi le options, with a 19-mm orifi ce opener for enhanced access.

“Recently, I had a challenging lower fi rst molar endo case that had a good outcome," he said. "The reliable predictability offered by this system was instrumental in that success.”
