› One file, not a sequence. A single 25/.05 rather than a graded retreatment set.
› The same wire as the shaping files. So it behaves the way the rest of the range does in your hand.
› 21 mm only. VDW make the retreatment file in one length.
› Pair it with a solvent and a hand file. For the last of the filling material and for checking patency.
Does it replace a full retreatment set?
It is one file for removing filling material in the body of the canal. For a graded set see the ProTaper Universal Retreatment files below.
