| manufacturer news Easy to learn, easy to use Strength and flexibility with a silky-smooth feel Japanese manufacturer MANI, specialising in surgical and dental instruments, recently introduced the MANI Silk nickel-titanium endodontic instrumentation system. MANI Silk is anatomy-based, tactile and smooth, and provides efficient and safe canal shap- ing with a minimal number of instruments. Owing to the unique cross-sectional tear- drop design, the screwing-in effect com- mon with many other systems is eliminated and the files cut exceptionally well and resist fracture, while removing debris effectively and reducing instrument stress. Moreover, the groundbreaking proprietary heat treat- ment of the files provides excellent flexibility without sacrificing efficiency or safety. Easy to work with MANI recommends single use of MANI Silk files with any motor that provides 500 rpm Greater safety with a new tool Rooter S: Cordless endodontic motor with an automatic reverse torque. More- over, MANI Silk files can be used in re- ciprocal motion on any clockwise-cutting reciprocating motor. Using the Standard Pack as an example, after creating straight-line access, remov- ing the cervical dentinal triangle (using the 0.08/25 orifice opener—the file on the left side of the pack) and preparing a glide path, MANI Silk files are used from left to right in the pack (from 0.06/20 to 0.06/25) until the 0.06/25 reaches the true working length. More information, as well as a demonstra- tion video, is available on the manufacturer’s website. www.mani.co.jp/en. FKG Dentaire presents its new Rooter S endodontic motor. The out- standing feature of this new instrument is its ability to be used both on its own and in combination with the new apex locator from FKG, S-Apex. Rooter S has various automatic controls that guarantee greater safety for the user. Convincing functions in practice With its modular capabilities, the new endodontic motor from FKG provides users with maximum flexibility during treatment. Weighing only 103 g, the elegant endodontic motor can be used without fatigue. In addition, the contra angle can rotate 290° to ensure optimum visibility in all quadrants. This is assisted above all in the molar region by the extremely small head, which has an integrated file electrode. With speeds of 50–1,000 rpm, users have a choice of 11 speed settings to suit their individual needs. The user can adjust all of the functions at the push of a button and store six combinations of settings. The easy-to-read colour display shows all of the relevant information and settings and can be rotated 180° for left-handed users. Acoustic signals further assist in root canal preparation, as the user does not have to keep looking at the instrument’s display. Rooter S and S-Apex combination Rooter S combined with S-Apex offers an additional safety func- tion: “Auto Apical Slow-down”, which reduces the rotational speed 40 roots 1 2018 automatically as soon as the file tip approaches the reference point. This means that the instrument can guarantee the highest possible safety for both user and patient because it prevents the critical point in the apical area from being exceeded. S-Apex carries out an exact length measurement during treatment so that the user can prepare the root canal safely. This is particu- larly important in order to prevent any later complications. Rooter S can also be connected to the apex locator by a data transfer cable in order to provide additional functions, such as “Auto Start/Stop” or automatic stop once the file has reached the reference point (“Auto Apical Stop”). www.fkg.ch
