Dentsply Sirona’s latest innovation is a one-file reciprocating instrument that boosts efficiency and handles most endo cases with ease
Dr. Damas graduated from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry as 1 of only 5 students earning a dual DDS and MS degree. She began private practice in general dentistry from 2005 to 2008 in the Chicago suburbs, and then entered the endodontic residency program at the University of Detroit Mercy in Michigan, completing her residency training in 2010. Dr. Damas is an active member of the American Association of Endodontists, the American Dental Association, and the Chicago Dental Society. She completed her American Board of Endodontics Diplomate certifi cation in 2015. She practices at Southwest Endodontics in Geneva and Orland Park, IL.
A recent addition to the U.S. dental market—yet researched, perfected, and used for years by European clinicians—the Reciproc Blue file system simplifies root canal treatments with just one reciprocating instrument that effortlessly navigates complex canals and offers superior cutting efficiency. Here, Dr. Beth Damas shares how Reciproc Blue has eliminated the guesswork from her endo workflow, providing her with a flexible file system that resists cyclic fatigue and allows her to dramatically reduce treatment time.
More Efficient Retreatments
I see the greatest benefit when incorporating this system into my retreatment protocols because I am no longer flipping back and forth between multiple fi le systems for the same tooth. For me, it’s eliminated the guesswork. I’m less frustrated. My assistant is less frustrated. My patients often leave my office saying the retreatment procedure actually took less time than the original root canal. I will take that as a win!
