What is K3 file?

K3 is a third generation asymmetric endodontic file system. Designed to remove debris quickly, efficiently and safely, K3 addresses technical and procedural issues like no other ground-fluted file.

Who makes Sybron Endo?

Danaher Successfully Completes Acquisition of Sybron Dental Specialties, Inc. Danaher Corporation announced today that it has completed the merger of its indirect wholly owned subsidiary into Sybron and, as a result, Sybron has become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Danaher.

What does pips stand for in laser?

Photon Induced Photoacoustic Streaming (PIPS™) uses an Erbium 2,940 laser to pulse extremely low energy levels of laser light to generate a photoacoustic shockwave, which streams irrigants throughout the entire root canal system.

What is Photon Induced Photoacoustic Streaming?

Photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) is a new laser agitation technique. In this technique, the laser is based on the creation of cavitation phenomena and acoustic streaming in intracanal fluids related to the photomechanical effects of lasers at low settings [10].

How does Erbium YAG laser work?

How does erbium YAG laser work? Lasers work by emitting a wavelength of high energy light, which when focused on a certain skin condition will create heat and destroy diseased cells.

What is PIPS in dentistry?

PIPS is a technique that uses Erbium:YAG laser energy to agitate the irrigation solution inside a root canal system and cause a strong shockwave effect that can lyse bacteria cells and remove biofilm.

Is erbium laser better than CO2 laser?

Erbium type lasers are designed for surface-level scars and wrinkles and have fewer side effects. CO2 lasers heat tissues better than erbium lasers, causing more skin contraction and collagen stimulation; however, downtime is longer and there is more risk of side effects.

How do K3 Endo files work?

Positive rake angle provides the active cutting action of the K3 endo files. The K3 rotary file’s wide radial land provides blade support while adding peripheral strength to resist torsional and rotary stresses. The third radial land on K3 files stabilizes and keeps the instrument centered in the canal and minimizes over engagement.

What is sybronendo absorbent?

Absorbent Points SybronEndo Absorbent Points are presterilized and highly absorbent. They are made to remove moisture from prepared canals and are rigid enough to be easily inserted and withdrawn while keeping a Þrmly rolled shape.

What are the tapers on K3?

Simplified Colour Coding K3 is a simple system in that it only has two tapers; 04 and 06. 04 is Green, and the 06 tapers are Orange. The instruments will have two colour bands on the handle. The top band signifies the taper, and the bottom band (closest to the business end) conforms to standard ISO sizing.

What is the elements obturation unit?

The Elements Obturation Unitªcombines our System ªB technology with a motor-driven extruder handpiece to make obturation efÞcient, predictable, and accurate.
