The new HyFlex EDM root canal file from Coltene represents the very latest in root canal shaping systems.

Exhibiting up to 700% higher fracture resistance than previous NiTi files, the HyFlex EDM's specially hardened surface is due to the innovative manufacturing process that Coltene uses.

Electric discharge machining (EDM) generates sparks that cause the surface of the material to melt and evaporate – which is how the unique surface of the new HyFlex files is created. This gives each file an unprecedented combination of flexibility and fracture resistance.

Together, these properties make it possible for practitioners to reduce the number of files required for cleaning and shaping during root canal treatments, while helping preserve the anatomy of the tooth. Thanks to the greater accuracy this affords, the HyFlex EDM NiTi file also makes it possible to minimise the amount of filing needed for treatment success.
