Study Notes
Pathfinding Files
- D Finders are best suited for calcified root canals due to their D-shaped cross section, which increases blade strength and prevents excessive filing and binding.
Features and Benefits of D Finders
- Pre-curving the tip of the blade is recommended before use in root canal negotiation
- Product name: MANI D FINDERS
Glide Finders
- Feature a varying cross section with multiple-taper blade, providing optimal tip resilience and shank flexibility near the handle
- Used for negotiating and cutting
- Product name: MANI K-FILES
When to Use Pathfinding Files
- Recommended when it is not possible to penetrate root canals by conventional K-FILES
- Both D Finders and Glide Finders have high strength
Size and Color Code of Pathfinding Files
- Size 08: Tip diameter 0.08mm
- Size 10: Tip diameter 0.10mm
- Size 12: Tip diameter 0.12mm
- Size 15: Tip diameter 0.15mm
- Color code for each size is available
Buckling Resistance Test
- MANI internal test results show buckling resistance for each size of D Finders and Glide Finders
- Test results are presented in a graph with maximum load (N) on the y-axis and tip diameter (mm) on the x-axis
This quiz covers the advanced treatment of pathfinding in dentistry using D Finder files, specifically designed for calcified root canals. It explores the features and benefits of D-shaped cross section files.
