MANI Medium K-Files

Materials: MANI Hard-Fiber Stainless Steel

Taper: .02

• Intermediate Canal Enlargement

  • Used after small K-files (#06-#10) to gradually enlarge the canal before progressing to standard sizes (#20-#40).
  • Helps in reducing file stress and ensuring smooth canal preparation.

• Shaping and Smoothing the Canal

  • Aids in uniform shaping of the root canal while maintaining its natural anatomy.
  • Reduces resistance for later stages of instrumentation.

• Cleaning and Removing Dentine Debris

  • Effective for removing infected dentine and debris without causing excessive damage.
  • Improves access for irrigation solutions to disinfect the canal.

• Used in Various Filing Techniques

  • Turn and Pull: ¼ turn into the dentine, then pull out for controlled cutting.
  • Watch-Winding: Small clockwise and counterclockwise movements (30-60°) for gradual dentine removal.
  • Balanced Force Technique: Ensures controlled cutting while preserving canal shape, particularly in curved canals.

• Preparation for Obturation

  • Helps in finalizing the shape of the canal before filling materials are inserted.

• Handling Moderate to Wide Canals

  • Suitable for moderate-sized canals that need precise shaping without aggressive cutting.
