RECIPROC® Minima R25|31mm (6)

RECIPROC® Minima R25 · 31 mm · 6 files

More apical diameter, all the way down a long root

Long canine that needs a 0.25 mm apex? R25 in the 31 mm length carries the same .08 apical taper as R20 on a wider tip, so the extra preparation lands apically rather than at the orifice – useful in a long tooth, where every extra percent of taper compounds over more millimetres of dentine.

› In wider anatomy the instructions leave the starting size to you, and R25 is where that judgement usually lands.
› In narrow canals start with R20, as the instructions direct.
› Full geometry and evidence on the 25 mm R25 page.
› Obturate with the matched consumables – Minima paper points R25 to dry, then Conform Fit® GP RM25 – sized to this preparation, not to a constant taper.

How does this differ from RECIPROC® blue R25?
Same tip diameter, very different body – blue runs a .08 regressive taper for regular anatomies and retreatment; Minima averages 3.3% for narrow ones. See blue R25.

Need a larger apical size?
R35 or R45 in the same length – their apical taper steps down as tip diameter rises.

Glide path?
Often unnecessary, but the instructions require one if the file stops progressing, with a patency check using an ISO 010 or 008 hand instrument.
