RECIPROC® Minima R20 · 21 mm · 6 files
Short roots, or a patient who cannot open far enough for a 25 mm file and a contra-angle? This is R20 – the size the instructions tell you to start with in narrow and challenging canals – in the 21 mm working length. Paired with the 9.5 mm short handle, it is the combination that decides whether you can work at all on a lower seven.
This pack: 6 × RECIPROC® Minima R20, 21 mm · sterile, single use
Made by Dentsply Sirona – Maillefer, Switzerland
| ISO 20/.08v | 0.20 mm tip, .08 apical taper reducing coronally – 3.6% averaged along the blade |
| 21 mm | Short working length for short roots, and for the posterior access that a longer file cannot reach |
| 0.77 mm | Maximum flute diameter – the slimmest body in the range |
| 9.5 mm handle | Short shank; with the 21 mm length it is the shortest combination available |
› Start here – the instructions specify R20 as the first instrument in narrow and challenging canals.
› Technique – pecks of no more than 3 mm, light pressure, and if it stops progressing withdraw it and create a glide path.
› The full story is on the 25 mm R20 page – geometry, published evidence and technique in full.
› Obturate with the matched consumables – Minima paper points R20 to dry, then ConformFit™ GP RM20 – sized to this preparation, not to a constant taper.
Which length do I need?
21 mm for short roots and limited opening; 25 mm is the everyday length; 31 mm for long roots and canines.
Which size after this one?
R25 for a larger apical preparation, or the assorted 21 mm pack to cover the range.
Reusable?
No – sterile blister, single use.
