Take the Reliability, Leave the Stress
Simplify your root canal workflow with a trio of high-quality rotary and reciprocating endodontic files that are value-priced and can ensure reliable, predictable performance
In endodontics, and dentistry in general, clinical technique and the instruments or materials used are true codependents, in a good way. There’s no separating them, and successful patient outcomes largely depend on both. If one fails, it’s likely the treatment will also. Most importantly, the last thing any dentist wants to happen in the midst of a critical endo procedure is an equipment or material malfunction, which is why David Blanchard, DDS, in Milwaukee, WI, relies on the Channels Endodontic Files.
“The Channels line of endodontic files are based on streamlined sequences that have been in the industry for a long time, so it’s a proven method and we know it works,” Dr. Blanchard shared. “There hasn’t been anything quite this good—at this price—that I’ve ever seen.”
Channels One
Named a DPS Best Product by a group of clinicians, Channels One Reciprocating NiTi Files variable tapered file system enables clinicians to complete procedures with fewer instruments than other systems. A unique combination of strength and flexibility, the files are capable of 90° curves and allow clinicians to easily navigate a canal’s natural shape without the possibility of bounce back.
“Channels One simplifies everything down to just a few files and sizes, which helps me as I’m considering the sequence and makes the procedure quick and more predictable,” Dr. Blanchard explained.
Channels Flex
Also a DPS Best Product, the heat-treated, constant taper Channels Flex Rotary NiTi Files are offered in a variety of tapers, lengths, and ISO sizes. Delivering a high resistance to cyclic fatigue, the files can also navigate a canal’s natural shape without breakage or bounce back and are capable of 90° turns.
Channels Performance Taper
The Channels Performance Taper Variable Taper NiTi Rotary Files include a set of 8 instruments and feature a tapered design for enhanced flexibility and cutting efficiency. The system includes the G1, G2, and GX files used to prepare the coronal two-thirds of the root, and 5 files that make up the C-series—C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5—which enable clinicians to achieve final apical preparation of the canal before obturation.
“I’ve gravitated to the Performance Taper system,” Dr. Blanchard said. “The GX file is one of the best single files because on molars and most other teeth, it gives me a glide path down to length and orifice opener at the same time, and shapes the canal right from the get-go.”
