How do you curve the this much? Between thumb and fingers? Butting it against the tray? This seems to be a made-to-measure curve for the mesial root of a 1st molar. IIRC, you curve them this way up till file # 15, correct? Thanks SP -- To reply: take out the TRASH...

The Real Pau #7 / 12	Pre Curved File - pre-curved-file.jpg gotcha....don't they make a tool to bend files nice and smooth?

The Real Pau #8 / 12	Pre Curved File - pre-curved-file.jpg No, this: http://www.endobuchanan.com/products/access.html The last item on the page is the Endo-Bender which will give a kinkless bend to the file Quote: > >gotcha....don't they make a tool to bend files nice and smooth? > Yep they sure do. > They are called fingers and thumb. > An example of masterful engineering. > -- > W_B > Take out the G'RBAGE

I think I'm with WB here. I like Buchanan, but this looks like a product for sissies, not manly men doing manly things and womenly women doing womenly things.

Dr Stev #10 / 12	Pre Curved File - pre-curved-file.jpg If someone lacks the dexterity to bend a file by hand, should they be doing RCT? I never have pre-bent files. I use #8, #10 and #15 for quite a long time. Then, I try taking #20 to length and finish up. Working the tiny files real well avoids ledging and the files are so flexible that they follow the c{filter} automatically. On withdrawal, you can generally see the bend of the c{filter} on the #10 or #15. Usually the bends are only in the apical 1/5 of the root. -- ~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

You take a GT file series 30 or 40 into an MB1 or MB2??? IOW, you open the apex of that root to a #30 or 40????

Yep for MB1, If you prepare the c{filter}in the manner described, the 30/.04 will usually go to length. if not drop to the 20 series. A 40 sure, in large canals, usually younger folks. MB2 ? I usually hand file these or use the pro-tapers. 20 series is what I would recommend to others. Sometimes you can get these to a 30. Age of the patient is usually a factor in the size of the canal, but not always. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE
