20 exhibitors Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 27, 2017 HyFlex EDM one file NiTi system offers flexibility and fracture resistance By COLTENE Staff n COLTENE’s HyFlex EDM files are the newest innovation in rotary endodontics, featuring unmatched strength, flexibility and cutting effi- ciency for the preparation of even the most complex canals, according to the company. With HyFlex EDM, even newcom- ers to endodontics can achieve reli- able results quickly and easily, the company asserts. HyFlex EDM files are produced using an innovative manufacturing process called Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). This breakthrough manufacturing process uses spark erosion to harden the surface of the NiTi file. This results in a file that is extremely flexible and fracture AD Here in New York For more information about HyFlex EDM files, go to coltene.com. Visit COLTENE at booth No. 4016 and ask to try out the HyFlex EDM files. resistant that improves cutting effi- ciency, according to the company. Numerous studies of the effec- tiveness of HyFlex EDM have been published, including a study that pro- vided the clinician up to 700 percent greater fracture resistance compared to traditional NiTi files (Int Endod J. 2015 May 22. doi: 10.1111/iej.12470). Thanks to controlled memory properties, HyFlex EDM files follow the anatomy of the canal, which can significantly reduce the risk of ledg- ing, transportation and perforation during the root canal procedure. The built-in shape memory of the HyFlex EDM files prevents stress during canal preparation by changing the file’s spiral shape. A normal autoclaving process is enough to return the files to their original shape and fatigue resistance, often allowing the clinician to use the files for more than one procedure. HyFlex EDM files are provided as a modular system of sterile endodontic instruments. The HyFlex EDM system includes shaping and finishing files. Depend- ing on the clinical situation, use of HyFlex EDM reduces the number of files required to two or three instru- ments, particularly in straight and larger canals. 3 The HyFlex EDM file.
