Dentsply M-Access H-Files -21mm (Hand Operated Files)

The Dentsply M-Access H-Files are precision-engineered stainless steel files designed to enhance dental professionals' expertise during root canal shaping procedures. With their teardrop cross-section and sharp cutting tip, these H-files offer superior cutting efficiency compared to K-files. They are specifically designed to be used in a single direction, emphasizing retraction and avoiding torquing. The M-Access H-Files features an ergonomically designed handle for comfortable and controlled usage. They can be utilized manually or in combination with NiTi rotary files, providing flexibility in treatment approaches The recommended motion of action for the M-Access H-Files is the withdrawal stroke, which involves an upward cutting motion. By utilizing this technique, the files effectively remove dentine during the filing process. The files are supplied in a convenient plastic box, with pack options consisting of six files.

Driection to Use

File Selection: Choose the appropriate file size based on the dimensions of the root canal. The M-Access H-Files are available in various sizes ranging from 008 to 080.

Preparing the Root Canal: Begin by cleaning and shaping the access cavity. Establish a glide path using smaller-sized files or reamers before progressing to the M-Access H-Files.

Lubrication: Apply a sufficient amount of lubricant, such as a water-based gel or a lubricating solution, to the file before inserting it into the root canal. This helps reduce friction and facilitates smoother file movement.

Insertion: Insert the H-File into the canal with a gentle but firm pressure. Ensure that the file is directed along the long axis of the tooth.

Cutting Motion: Perform the filing motion using the withdrawal stroke technique. This involves an upward cutting motion while retracting the file towards the access cavity. Avoid using a twisting or torquing motion, as it may lead to file breakage or canal transportation.

Avoid Excessive Force: Apply controlled and moderate pressure while using the H-File. Excessive force can cause instrument fracture or damage to the tooth structure.

File Cleaning: After each use, clean the file thoroughly by removing any debris or dentin particles. Use a file brush and irrigate the file with a disinfectant solution to maintain its cleanliness.

File Sterilization: Sterilize the files using appropriate methods recommended by infection control guidelines. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sterilization and storage.
