SOUTH JORDAN, Utah--Ultradent Products plans to demonstrate a new endodontic file system, TiLOS, at the 2009 Greater New York Dental Meeting.
Building on Ultradent's Anatomic Endodontic Technology, TiLOS is a new hybrid system that incorporates stainless steel and nickel titanium hand files, as well as engine-driven stainless steel shaping files and nickel titanium apical files that are optimized for Ultradent's 30° reciprocating handpiece.
Ultradent developed the Endo-Eze TiLOS File System with the idea of bringing together the metal best-suited for files in specific areas of the root canal while using a safe and effective mechanical movement.
The system utilizes a cleaning and shaping hybridization technique, using the technology and speed of the biomechanical systems while maximizing the intuitive, traditional nature of hand instrumentation.
It reduces the influence of anatomical variations, pathological conditions, and complications often experienced with other systems, such as ledging, zipping, canal transportation, unnecessary tooth structure removal, and file separation.
In addition to a range of hand files and engine-driven files, the TiLOS patient packs consist of three stainless-steel shaping files--purple, white, and yellow-- with the respective tip diameters of the active portion (0.10, 0.13, 0.13 mm) and respective tapers (0.020, 0.030 and 0.040 mm/mm), two hand K-type stainless steel files, #15 and #20, and three NiTi transitional files with an active portion initial diameter of 0.25 mm and tapers of 0.08, 0.04, and 0.02.
The TiLOS files are sold in preconfigured patient packs, apical finishing packs, and refill packs.
To learn more about TiLOS, attend the hands-on/lecture presentation by Dr Renato Leonardo titled "Technological Resources and Biological Concepts In Minimally Invasive Endodontics" on Dec. 1 at the Greater New York Dental Meeting.
