Niti S-Apex

NiTi S-ApeX
With inverted taper - Ø D1 > Ø D2
No more broken tips!
TOOLS TO KEEP SMILING
To enlarge the apical area even in
severe or calcifi ed canals
Ø D1 (ISO)
D2 breaking point
S-ApeX creates a free rotation space
for the tip of shaping instruments
• S-ApeX calibrates the last millimetres of the
apical constriction and creates an apical box
Improved cleaning and disinfection
• S-Apex helps lubricants, irrigants and chelating
agents to reach working length even in curved,
narrow canals

FKG REF. - 99.6SA.10.01E.AN - 2011/02

Over 80% of breaks occurring with NiTi rotating instruments happen
between the tip and the first 10 millimetres of the active part after been
jammed in curved narrowed, thin or sclerosed canals…
...A risk that is eliminated when using S-ApeX
S-Apex instructions
1. Clearance and opening of the 1st third
using Pre-RaCe instruments nb. 40/.10
and 35/.08.
2. Catheterism and measurement of the WL
with the help of a RaCe Man no.10-15, a
K-file or an apex locator.

Safety concept of the S-ApeX:
When to use S-ApeX?
• Creates room for the tips of subsequent The best is to use it after Pre-RaCe
instruments allowing them to rotate instruments and after WL has been
freely;
confirmed with RaCe Man (manual) or K
• Helps irrigants to penetrate to WL; file, to prepare apical third before RaCe
• Creates an apical stop for improved
vertical compaction.
sequences.

3. Use the first S-ApeX no. ISO 15 to the
apex (see white area); then successively
introduce the following numbers until the
dimension chosen for the final preparation
of the apex has been attained.
Recommended speed 800 rpm*
4. Start the «crown-down» preparation
with your standard sequence. The first
tapered tool should be smaller than the last
S-ApeX used.
Continue the conical preparation until
the apex according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Standard features:
Non-cutting Safety Tip
Non-threading design
Sharp cutting edges
Electrochemical treatment
In case breakage limits are exceeded,
S-ApeX breaks or twists round at the
factory preset weak point i.e. at ± 16 mm
from the tip.
The broken part can be easily pulled out.
It is neither screwed in, nor blocked in the
canal due to it’s exclusive non-threading
design.
Freely rotating tip = improved safety
Safe! Safer! S-ApeX!
To make your endodontics
easier precise and thus,
definitively safe
Compatibility
Our instruments are suitable for all micromotors
and controller systems.
