Pathfile Files by Dentsply Sirona

Pathfile rotary files by Dentsply Sirona are NiTi rotary files designed to define the path to follow, preserving the root canal structure better than manual files. They are available in sterilized blister packs of 6 units in lengths of 21 mm, 25 mm, and 31 mm to achieve a smooth apical path, suitable for all clinical cases.

Pathfile files offer many advantages compared to manual techniques as they are more flexible and resistant to cyclic fatigue. They establish a smooth apical path, also known as a glide path, which is a crucial step in perfectly respecting the anatomy of the treated canal.

Key advantages of Pathfile:

Flexible and resistant to cyclic fatigue, Pathfile files offer several advantages for the dentist to consider:

The required axial pressure is reduced thanks to the successive increase in tip diameters (013, 016, and 019).

There is no transportation of the apical foramen when the working length is very long.

No ledges are formed when the working length is too short.

Recommended sequence:

For optimal results, the recommended working sequence is:

K-file size 10.

PathFile files 013, 016, and 019.

Preparation of the root canal system.
