X2 Endo™ #09 Incisor (UL1)

X2 Endo™ · #09 upper left central incisor · dual hardness

The tooth to be assessed on, because the film looks like a real one

Can a competency exam be fair if the radiograph looks nothing like a patient's? Acadental built the X2 range around that problem, and this is the tooth they name for it: authentic internal and external anatomy with realistic radiographic results replicating a natural maxillary central incisor, with a tapered canal constricted close to the apex. Their claim is that X2 teeth are undistinguishable from extracted teeth on an X-ray – which is exactly the property a standardised competency examination needs.

This item: 1 × X2 Endo #09, upper left central incisor (UL1), radiopaque
Made by Acadental, USA · mfr code 3D_AE601X2_09

› Named for competency work – Acadental describe it as excellent for practising all cleaning and shaping techniques as well as standardised competency examinations.
› One canal, one variable – with the anatomy simple, the assessment is genuinely about technique.
› The cheaper cohort option – Real-T Endo #08 is the upper central at undergraduate pricing, also radiopaque.

What makes this better than a plastic block?
Three things a block cannot do: a film that reads like a patient's, an access cavity cut through material that resists the bur, and an apical constriction that stops a file where one should stop.

Do we need a diamond bur?
Acadental recommend one, because the replicated enamel is comparable in hardness to a natural tooth. A worn tungsten carbide bur will make hard work of the outline.

Which anterior for a demonstration instead?
The see-through Endo 3DP #09, which adds a mid-root lateral canal you can watch fill – but it is radiolucent, so it is a demonstration tooth, not an assessment one.
