The self-adjusting file (SAF). Part 2: mechanical analysis.
INTRODUCTION The study was designed to explore the mechanical properties of the self-adjusting file (SAF) and its application in the root canal using continuous irrigation. METHODS The compressibility of the SAF file and the resulting peripheral force were measured using specially designed systems. The abrasivity of the file was tested on dentin blocks representing a flat root canal. The dura...

intRODuCtiOn The self Adjusting File (sAF*) system is a new approach to shaping root canal systems, which does not use solid metal files. (Fig 1). The sAF relies on the gentle abrasive action of a flexible mesh lattice to prepare the root canal walls. The sAF offers: 1) the ability to instrument and prepare complex-shaped root canal anatomies; 2) the capability to provide continuous and efficie...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Self - Adjusting File system ( SAF ) for the instrumentation of primary molar root canals : a micro - computed tomographic
Aim The Self-Adjusting File (SAF) system has been recommended for use in permanent teeth since it offers more conservative and effective root-canal preparation when compared to traditional rotary systems. However, no study had evaluated the usage of SAF in primary teeth. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the use of SAF, K file (manual instrumentation) and Profile (traditional ro...
متن کاملThe self-adjusting file (SAF). Part 3: removal of debris and smear layer-A scanning electron microscope study.
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the cleaning ability of the Self-Adjusting File (SAF) system in terms of removal of debris and smear layer. METHODOLOGY Root canal preparations were performed in 20 root canals using an SAF operated with a continuous irrigation device. The glide path was initially established using a size 20 K-file followed by the SAF file that was operated in the roo...
متن کاملEight months of clinical experience with the Self-Adjusting File system.
INTRODUCTION The Self-Adjusting File (SAF) system (ReDent-Nova, Ra'anana, Israel) has been recently introduced for the simultaneous instrumentation and irrigation of root canals. The SAF is claimed to adapt itself three dimensionally to the root canal, including its cross-section. It is operated with a continuous flow of sodium hypochlorite that is delivered into the root canal through the holl...
