Super System Root Canal Files from an Endodontist's Pen - Dr. Abdullah Özceylan
The devices and systems used in dentistry directly affect the quality of treatment as well as professional satisfaction. Today, before sharing my experiences with Super System root canal files, I would like to provide some information that will help you use this system more effectively.
Before You Begin: Test on Extracted Teeth
I strongly recommend that you try a new endodontic system on extracted teeth, especially before using it on patients. By combining the company instructions and your own experience, you can discover the maximum potential of this system. My first encounter with the Super System was a recommendation from a colleague, and my experience began with tests on extracted teeth. Remember, every system has its own dynamics, and learning these details increases success.
Super System Highlights and My Favorites
1. Advanced Kit: 10/07 Opener File
This file is a perfect savior especially in calcified root canal orifices or in challenging cases such as MB2. Thanks to its cutting power and penetration into the root canal orifice, it helps you achieve successful results even in teeth that are hesitant to treat.
2. Retreat One Set: Retreatment Chance with a Single File
The Retreat One set, used in root canal treatment renewal procedures, saves both time and money. This file, which is very effective in breaking down and removing gutta, almost makes the use of gutta solvent unnecessary. However, it would be even more useful if there was an optional 4-file retreatment option.
3. Glider File (10/04): Reaching the Difficult Apex
In cases where I could not reach the apex with the 8-10 size C type hand files of famous brands, this file helped me reach the apex several times. However, I would like to emphasize that RPM and torque values should be taken into consideration before use.
Things to Consider During Use
• Degree of Difficulty of the Work: The degree of difficulty of the treated tooth affects the life of the files. Preliminary testing on extracted teeth is very important in this respect.
• Wear Monitoring: Flute deformation of Super System files can be difficult to visually see. It is critical to pay attention to the number of uses and replace the file when necessary.
Final Evaluation: Price-Performance Product
Super System files are a system that can be recommended with confidence for dentists looking for a price-performance product. My advice to my colleagues is to try this system at least once and gain their own experience.
A Little Tip: When using Super System files, working with an apex locator integrated device will allow you to perform a more controlled treatment and reduce the level of post-operative pain.
