A File System Designed to Stay True to Patients’ Natural Anatomy
A complete root canal system designed to respect the true, natural anatomy, Dentsply Sirona’s TruNatomy helps preserve structural dentin and tooth integrity
Ask any dental professional, and they will tell you that a successful root canal treatment depends on creating shapes that are suitable for irrigation and obturation, while preserving as much structural dentin as possible. While that may be the goal, many traditional NiTi file systems are unable to adequately reach complex anatomy.
Enter TruNatomy, the latest innovation in root canal treatment from Dentsply Sirona. Just like its name implies, TruNatomy is a complete solution combining Swiss precision with advanced engineering that is perfectly designed to respect the true anatomy of the root canal system. It accomplishes this through an intuitive file system that includes a TruNatomy Orifice Modifier, TruNatomy Glider, and TruNatomy Shaping Files.
“After using TruNatomy, I can honestly say it’s one system where I’ve had zero issues.”

Better Access for Complex Anatomies
Ross Isbell, DMD, a DPS evaluator who practices in Gadsden, AL, has been using TruNatomy for several months now and finds it to be especially helpful for patients with complex anatomies. “I tend to use it for tougher molars that are difficult to gain access to because it is a conservative file system and I have found that it is a simpler glide path,” he explained.
As a general dentist, Dr. Isbell pointed out that TruNatomy’s dependability has increased his confidence when it comes to root canal procedures. “When I first started doing root canals prior to using TruNatomy, I was getting a lot of file breaks, so I stopped doing them for a while because I just didn’t feel confident,” he explained. “But after using TruNatomy, I can honestly say it’s one system where I’ve had zero issues. It’s a big confidence boost knowing I can get into a tight canal and not be as worried about the file breaking because it is designed to handle that type of situation. That is very helpful to me.”
Superior Efficiency
TruNatomy is a complete clinical solution that preserves natural tooth structure. Its system-based workflow offers 2 additional shaping instruments for smaller and larger canals (Yellow and Green), along with corresponding paper points, gutta-percha points, GuttaCore obturators, and a flexible, dual side-vented irrigation needle. Since dentin is only removed where clinically necessary, the structural strength of the molar is preserved, while ensuring appropriate irrigation of the canal.
Dr. Isbell also pointed out an additional benefit of increased flexibility that using TruNatomy affords. “This is definitely a super flexible file,” he explained. “I’ve never had one break, so it’s great for tight calcified canals.”
Noting the goal of preserving as much dentin as possible, Dr. Isbell is pleased with his results using TruNatomy. Having recently used other systems in his practice, he stressed the benefits of the product, particularly for patients who present with challenging access issues. “It really does give me better access,” he concluded.
