canal treatment (RCT), SAF (Self Adjusting File), Cross Section
PROJECT SUMMARY
The SAF - Self Adjustable File, is an innovative device for the
dental market providing better performance and cost effectiveness
in Root Canal Treatments (RCT).
The objective of root canal treatment is to remove the tooth's
pulp, clean, disinfect and shape the root canal. Today, Root
Canal Treatments require a series of 6-7 metal files varying in
width, strength and diameter. The consecutive utilization of the
files, needed to complete the treatment, their geometry and
mechanical capabilities result in a time consuming procedure that
does not always guarantee the complete cleaning, disinfecting and
removal of the tooth's pulp, resulting in RCT failure.
RCT failure means recurring infection and the need to renew the
RCT or even extract the tooth. Current file design presents risks
of damage to the root, which might result in additional
correction costs or tooth loss.
ADVANTAGES
SAF offers the best solution to the problem: an advanced file
capable of adjusting itself to the formation of the root canal,
clean and shape the root canal completely, saving time and
finishing the treatment at a higher level of quality of any of
its competitors.
The utilization of SAF to perform Root Canal Treatments will save
up to 50% of the dentists' chair time and reduces recurring
treatments and tooth extraction by 65%.
