This minimally invasive endo file system includes both progressive and regressive tapered files and performs in rotary or forward reciprocating motions
While there are many challenges associated with root canal procedures, fear of file separation during instrumentation ranks high on the list. EdgeEndo's latest innovation, EdgeDiamond Utopia, aims to help eliminate this stress and uncertainty—empowering dentists like Dr. Anthony Fusco and Dr. Phil Harper to deliver exceptional patient care with confidence.
Seamless Performance
Available in 21- and 25-mm lengths, the EdgeDiamond Utopia series features 6 different fi les—slider (16.02), shaper (20.04), F1 (20.07), F2 (25.07), F3 (30.07), and FX (35.07)—that come presterilized in individual blister packs. Progressive tapered shaping files and regressive tapered finishing files enhance adaptability and efficiency, while blades with diamond cross-sections allow for minimally invasive cutting performance.
Dr. Fusco enjoyed the “ease of use, prepackaged sets, cutting efficiency, and tactile feedback” of the 25-mm files. "The length of the files was perfect, and the cutting efficiency allowed for a minimal orifice opening while at the same time completely extirpating the pulp. This led to a very easy glide path to the apex of each root, and the orifice opening was wide enough for the shaping files to seamlessly do their job," he added.
Unique Adaptability
With the unique ability to operate in rotary or forward reciprocating motions, EdgeDiamond Utopia gives clinicians the versatility to choose their preferred technique.
“I like the idea of having both reciprocating and rotary options in the same file system," shared Dr. Harper, who found the files easy to use in a reciprocating motion. When using a rotary technique, Dr. Fusco called it "a very nice alternative” to his previous rotary system.
Balancing Flexibility & Durability
Optimized with FireWire Blaze Heat Treatment for enhanced durability and superior performance under stress, the EdgeDiamond Utopia files "are more flexible than my previous file system, but not too flexible where file separation was ever in question,” said Dr. Fusco. “In fact, I tried unsuccessfully to bend a file to its breaking point (outside the mouth), which gave me the confidence to apply enough pressure without the fear of separation when using it in the tooth."
Dr. Fusco concluded, "Since there is more coronal dentin to bond core materials for the permanent restoration, the likelihood of restorative success in-creases, especially in molar applications where dentin above the furcation is at a premium."
