MAP System® · Classic curved · N°1 · Ø1.10 mm
How much of a perforation repair is spent adjusting the instrument rather than placing the material? The Classic curved N°1 answers that by not needing adjusting. It comes out of the pouch at the curve PD gave it, takes the general-purpose Ø1.10 mm increment, and goes back down the same canal it went down last time. PD list this geometry for precise endodontic procedures performed by the orthograde approach.
This pack: 1 × Classic curved needle N°1 red, Ø1.10 mm, with 16 matching plungers
Made by PD Dental, Switzerland
| Approach | Orthograde. For retrograde work the Surgery and Hooked geometries are the ones PD intend |
| Bore | Ø1.10 mm – the general-purpose size, and the wider of the two Classic needles |
| Fixed geometry | One curve, unchanged between cases. Nothing to shape and nothing to get wrong |
| Reusable | Validated by PD for 50 reprocessing cycles; the plunger inside is single-use |
› What PD list the system for: pulp capping, iatrogenic and pathological perforation, root resorption, apexification and apexogenesis by the orthograde route.
› Clean it within fifteen minutes, plunger out first, then floss. The needle is the reusable part and this is what keeps it that way.
› Not for Biodentine, which the IFU excludes from the red and yellow needles.
Which size do most people buy?
N°1. It carries a useful increment without needing generous access, which is why it is also the size PD build MAP One around.
Can I bend it a little?
It is not made for it – that is the NiTi needle's job, and only NiTi returns to shape in the autoclave. Treat the Classic curve as fixed.
| Its consumable | Plastic Plungers N°1 red · 16 |
| Bendable instead | NiTi Memory Shape N°1 – same bore, shaped to the case |
| Finer Classic | Classic Needle Curved N°0 · Ø0.90 mm |
| Material to place | NeoPUTTY® · 0.5 g – premixed bioceramic, no mixing step |
