35 roots 2 2016 canal preparation The S1 System laser dentistry Fotona launches ST PRO LightWalker dental laser The S1 System is a single file system using a reciprocating motion—with new technology we are making root canal treatment even simpler. The design makes it easy to use applying steady movements, for the best ergonomics. We simplify endodontics and also makes it more cost-effective. The S1 contra-angel handpiece with its reciprocating motion, has a unique design with an integrated gearbox and rotates 180° clockwise and 30° an- ti-clockwise alternately—a smart solution which allows you to connect the contra-angle handpiece directly to your dental unit with no need for an ex- ternal motor. The contra-angle handpiece has also been designed to make your work easier: the angel of the head is 90°, giving you more freedom in the area around the molars. In contrast with many of our competitor’s products creating reciprocating motion which use an external motor, cord and foot pedal—an unnecessarily complicated procedure. The motorless concept also means the S1 System is cost-effective and meets today’s hygiene standards. The S1 contra-angle handpiece can be connected to an apex locator using the accompanying apex clip. You clean and sterilize the contra-angle handpiece just as you do other instruments. The S1 System is a single file system with several advantages for the den- tal team. Because you only need one single mechanical instrument (probing the canal and preparing a glide path is done using hand files), treatment is faster and the instruments come in a practical sterile Treatment Pack which is sufficient for two root canal treat- ments. They are ready to use directly from the package which saves even more time so you’ll be able to treat more patients. Sendoline’s unique S-profile with its double cutting edges is extremely ef- fective in the root canal with the S1 System’s reciprocating motion. The instrument has a non-cutting tip, making it easier to hold it steady in the centre of the root canal. The instruments rotation 180° clockwise and 30° anti-clockwise alternately—and the nickel titanium alloy’s elasticity and fle- xibility minimize the risk of instrument fracture.
