_HyFlexCM (controlled memory) rotary files,
available from Coltne/Whaledent, are changing
the DNA of NiTi files. This endodontic file system
is a unique breakthrough in NiTi rotary files with a
Controlled Memory (CM) effect.
The files are manufactured utilizing a unique
process that controls the materials memory, mak-
ing the files extremely flexible, without the shape
memory of other NiTi files. This enhancement in NiTi
file production technology gives the file the ability to
more closely follow the anatomy of the canal, reduc-
ing the risk of file separation, binding and complications
such as ledging, transportation and perforation.
This new technology yields an improvement of up
to 339 percent in cyclical fatigue compared to standard
NiTi files*, reducing the incidence of file separation the
endodontists worst nightmare. Clinicians are able to
re-use HyFlex CM files because the shape of bent files or
with straightened spirals is restored during autoclaving.
