Lusterdent Endodontic K Files

Product Name: Lusterdent Endodontic K Files
Brand: Lusterdent
Product Type: Stainless Steel Endodontic Hand Files (K‑Type)

1. General Description

Lusterdent Endodontic K Files are precision‑manufactured stainless steel hand files designed for the negotiation, cleaning, and shaping of root canal systems during endodontic therapy. These instruments feature ISO color‑coded handles for easy identification of sizes and provide reliable cutting ability with controlled flexibility. The K‑file design optimizes tactile feedback and canal preparation, making them suitable for both initial canal exploration and subsequent shaping prior to obturation in manual endodontic procedures.

2. Clinical Indications

This product is indicated for:

• Negotiating and negotiating root canal patency in primary endodontic treatments.

• Cleaning and shaping root canal walls to prepare for irrigation and obturation.

• Manual hand instrumentation in canals of varying curvature and anatomy.

3. Key Technical Features

• Stainless steel construction: High‑quality alloy for strength and rigidity during hand filing.

• ISO color‑coded handles: Facilitates quick and accurate size identification.

• Smooth tactile feedback: Supports precise manual control during filing and canal negotiation.

• Silicon stops included: For depth control and consistent working length.

• Durable design: Built to withstand repeated clinical use and sterilization.

4. Material Properties

• Material: Premium stainless steel for enhanced cutting performance and resistance to deformation.

• Length options: Commonly available in lengths such as 21 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, and 31 mm.

• Packaging: Typically supplied in boxes of 6 files per size or assorted sets.

• Sterilization: Suitable for autoclave sterilization following standard clinical protocols.

5. Handling & Application (Clinical Workflow)

1. Access preparation: Achieve proper access to the pulp chamber using standard endodontic techniques.

2. Initial negotiation: Select the smallest K file (#06–#10) and gently introduce it into the canal to establish patency.

3. Sequential filing: Progress through increasing sizes (#15, #20, etc.) to enlarge and shape the canal.

4. Watch‑winding motion: Use a gentle watch‑winding or filling motion to remove dentin debris.

5. Irrigation: Perform copious irrigation between file increments to flush debris and disinfect.

6. Final shaping: Complete manual shaping to the desired working length before irrigation and obturation.

6. Clinical Advantages

• Reliable manual control: Excellent tactile sensation for careful canal negotiation and shaping.

• ISO standardization: Color‑coded sizes align with international standards for predictable instrumentation.

• Versatile use: Suitable for curved, narrow, or complex canal anatomies.

• Durable and sterilizable: Stainless steel construction supports repeated clinical use.
