Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties has introduced Vortex Blue, a new rotary endodontic file.
Standard nickel-titanium (NiTi) files try to revert to their original shape, but the proprietary processing of Vortex Blue rotary files reduces shape memory, giving the file the ability to naturally follow the curvature of the canal, according to the company.
The Vortex Blue file uses a new method of processing NiTi wire that results in a blue titanium oxide layer and features the same variable helical angle design as the original ProFile Vortex. It also offers resistance to cyclic fatigue with an improvement over M-Wire NiTi and standard NiTi files, and also delivers higher peak torque strength over M-Wire NiTi files, according to Dentsply Tulsa.
Vortex Blue rotary files are available in packs of six in 0.04 and 0.06 tapers and in sizes 15 through 50.
