ReDent Nova has obtained FDA clearance for its self-adjusting file (SAF) for root canal treatments, according to a story on Globes[online]. ReDent claims that the file presents a new concept of root canal treatment, and that using SAF will save up to 50% of the dentists' treatment time and reduce recurring treatments and tooth extractions.
The SAF is able to adjust itself to the formation of the root canal and clean and shape the root canal completely, according to ReDent Nova.
The company said it now plans to begin marketing the file in the U.S. and Europe, having also received EU certification.
