VDW.ROTATE 50/.04 – shaping a larger canal, on the same heat-treated wire

The heat-treated file in VDW’s rotary range. VDW describe a “New heat treatment to increase flexibility without compromising cutting efficiency” and an “Adapted S cross section for higher cutting efficiency” – the same S-section family as RECIPROC® blue, run in continuous rotation. This size is for shaping a larger canal once you have reached working length.

This pack: VDW.ROTATE™ Rotary File, ISO Size 50, .04 Taper, 31 mm (Pack of 6)
VDW · VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany (Dentsply Sirona)

›  Heat-treated wire. VDW say the treatment “strengthens cyclic fatigue resistance of the file and lowers the risk of file breakage”.*
›  Adapted S section. VDW say it “ensures effective debris removal and provides control of the instrument for a swift, thorough and safe preparation”.*
›  You can read the taper off the handle. 1 ring on the handle means taper .04, on top of the ISO colour. No squinting at the blister.
›  Radiopaque calibration rings. At 18, 19, 20, 22, 24 mm, so the length shows on the radiograph.

“The new VDW.ROTATE™ file reduces canal transportation and better respects the canal anatomy.”

VDW, VDW.ROTATE product brochure MENVROTBRC000 Rev.1, 2019. VDW mark this “compared to other VDW continuous rotary instruments”.

Questions we get asked

Which taper do I choose?
VDW put it simply: “Choose Taper .06 for the majority of clinical cases”, and “Choose Taper .04 for narrow and highly curved canals including apical curvature”.

Coming from Mtwo?
The same S-section idea, with the heat treatment and the handle coding added. See the Mtwo range if you want to compare.
