Using HERO Shaper for orthograde treatment has never been quicker and simpler. Conditions such as irreversible pulp pathology, pulpitis and necrosis are easily managed using the HERO Shaper® rotary nickel -titanium instruments at low speed.
HERO Shaper files, with their pronounced tapers, are designed for use with the crown-down technique to progressively remove constraints and flare the canal. The coronal third is prepared using .06 taper HERO Shaper files and the apical third is prepared using .04 taper HERO Shaper files. The varying helical pitch and length of the cutting portion of the files provide them with an excellent combination of efficiency and flexibility.
Yellow sequence
Difficult canals, severely curved, possibly with significant hypercalcification, making any first penetration tricky with the finest hand files. Speed 300 to 600 rpm
Red sequence
Canals of average difficulty with moderate curvature and/or more hypercalcification, making first penetration with a No.10 K file harde to achieve. Speed 300 to 600 rpm
Blue sequence
Easy canal preparation, low curvature, orifice and canal large enough to allow a No.15 K file to reach the Apex. Speed 300 to 600 rpm
