› Clears the debris. Dentsply Maillefer say the 16 mm flutes “clear away paste, pulpal residues, gutta-percha, broken instruments and calcification”.
› Shapes as well. They “Also allow additional shaping of the canal” once the obstruction is out.
› Hedstroem flutes, .02 taper. Dentsply Maillefer describe a “Standard .02 taper”, so it behaves like the Hedstroem you know.
› Built for the scope. The short handle keeps your hand and the instrument out of the line of sight.
