Abstract

Abstract: Root canal preparation is a critical procedure of root canal therapy. Due to the anatomic complexities of the root canal system, even when instrumentation is carefully performed using modern file systems, 30%-50% of the canal wall surface area may remain untouched and cover with biofilm. Recently, XP-endo series nickel-titanium instruments are launched to improve the cleaning effectiveness of root canal preparation. XP-endo nickel-titanium instruments are made of proprietary alloy, the NiTi MaxWire, which can react at different temperature levels. XP-endo has incredible flexibility and extreme cyclic fatigue resistance, which can adapt to canal morphology and enhance the efficiency of root canal preparation. In this paper, physical property, bio-safety, and mechanical cleaning of XP-endo series nickel-titanium instruments are reviewed.

Key words: Root canal preparation, Nickel-titanium endodontic instrument, XP-endo, Finisher, XP-endo, Shaper
