C-PILOT® assorted 006-010 · 21 mm · 6 files
The tooth you did not plan for turns up on a Thursday afternoon. This blister holds two each of ISO 006, 008 and 010 at 21 mm – the whole negotiating sequence for a calcified posterior tooth, in the length that suits it, with a second of every size so a stressed file gets retired rather than re-used.
This pack: 6 × VDW®STERILE C-PILOT®, 21 mm, .02 taper – two each of ISO 006, 008 and 010 · stoppers fitted · mfr code 368 021 210
Made by VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany
| 2 × ISO 006 | 0.06 mm – the probe, for a chamber floor that offers nothing |
| 2 × ISO 008 | 0.08 mm – where most calcified canals really start |
| 2 × ISO 010 | 0.10 mm – loose to length, and you have a glide path by definition |
| 21 mm, sterile | Posterior length, gamma sterilised to DIN EN ISO 11137, stoppers fitted |
| Thermally hardened | VDW: “High bending strength thanks to a special thermal hardening process” |
| Constant .02 taper | The ISO hand file geometry – the blade widens by 0.02 mm for every millimetre back from the tip, so the size you read is the size the canal gets |
› Work down, then back up – try 010, drop until one advances, then rebuild to a loose 010.
› Irrigate between sizes – the sequence makes dentine mud; flush it rather than push through it. A chelating gel such as File-Eze™ is optional and not universally endorsed.
› Use the spare – that is what the second file of each size is for.
› Then finish – ISO 12.5 and 015 if you complete glide paths by hand.
Exactly what is in it?
Six files at 21 mm: two ISO 006, two ISO 008, two ISO 010. VDW list the assortment as spanning ISO 06 to 10; the split is confirmed with our stock.
Assorted or single sizes?
Assorted if calcified canals are occasional. Single-size blisters – 008 and 010 especially – once you are getting through one size steadily.
