thus glide path creation to mini- mise binding is not required. So what are RECIPROC’s
advantages from a surgery/ practical point of view? • single file shaping – no multiple files to contend with • cheaper than all other rotary systems – blister packaging • single use – discard after canal preparation therefore eliminating the risk of patient cross contamination • reciprocation ensures canal centring ability and efficient negotiation of narrow or curved canals • the canal is totally prepared to a greater taper with only one instrument.
Technique: • glide path not required • RECIPROC file selection • single file preparation • irrigation with NaOCI and EDTA before, during and after single file shaping • risk of instrument fracture is minimised – angle settings are lower than normal rotary fracture angles • above all, RECIPROC’s greatest advantage is it is easy to use. The hand piece and instru-
ment deliver a smooth, efficient canal preparation to a defined taper, thus a defined end result. Matched paper points and matched gutta-percha cones enable straightforward root canal completion. I feel this is one of the
safest NiTi systems I have used to date and it has the shortest working time, with a lower incidence of complica- tions e.g. canal transportation or blockages. I am aware that current teaching stand- ards are not totally comfortable with
the concept of using a shaping/ cleaning instrument without initially creating a glide path with a hand instrument; however, reciprocation brings with it a centring ability and this, together with the S-shaped cross section providing an increased cutting ability, allows RECIPROC to follow the path of least resistance i.e. the root canal itself. Quality Endodontic Distrib-
utors (QED) has supported professionals at the forefront of endodontics for over 20 years. I bear testament to that both in practice, and their continued support on courses throughout the UK, and especially in the north of England and Scotland. RECIPROC is the new
concept that will capture the imagination. The advice and knowledge collectively within the team at QED will guide any practitioner through the maze of endodontic instru- mentation available, and RECIPROC is at the top of that list. Although new prod- ucts have constantly come to the frontline, QED will always listen to you as the operator, evaluate your problems and aim to present you with the instrument or materials that will work best in y our hands, RECIPROC is that instru- ment – you wi l l not be disappointed.
