Rotary/reciprocating endodontic files are reusable dental tools designed to clean, shape, and smooth the inside of a tooth’s root canal during root canal therapy. These instruments attach to powered handpieces and use rotational or reciprocating motion to remove infected tissue and prepare the canal for filling, ensuring proper sealing and restoration.
These devices are typically made from durable metals like stainless steel or nickel-titanium alloys and are regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with dental device standards. They are supplied sterile or pre-sterilized for clinical reuse, adhering to infection control protocols for dental procedures.
