PRO TAPER FILES

 ProTaper means progressively taper.
 A unique feature of the ProTaper files is each instrument has
changing percentage tapers over the length of cutting blades.
This progressively tapered design improves flexibility, cutting
efficiency and the safety of these files
 Recommended speed for their use is 150-350 rpm.
 The ProTaper file has a triangular cross-section and is variably
tapered across its cutting
 Convex triangular cross-section of these instrument decrease
the friction between the blade of file and the canal wall and it
increases its cutting efficiency.
 ProTaper file acts in active motion, this further increases its
efficiency and reduces torsional strain. Length of file handle is
reduced from 15 to 12.5 mm which allows better access in
posterior areas.

SHAPING FILES
These are termed as Sx, S1 and S2.
Sx
• No identification ring on its gold colored handle
• Shorter length of 19 mm
• D0 diameter is 0.19 mm
• D 14 diameter is 1.20 mm
• There is increase in taper up to D9 and then taper drops off up to
D14 which increases its flexibility
• Use is similar to Gates-Glidden drills or orifice shapers.

S1
• Has purple identification ring on its handle •D 0 diameter is 0.17
mm and D14 is 1.20 mm
• Used to prepare coronal part of the root.
S2
• Has white identification ring on its handle
•D 0 diameter is 0.20 mm and D14 is 1.20 mm
• Used to prepare middle third of the canal.
Finishing Files
Three finishing files F1, F2, F3 are used to prepare and finish apical
part of the root canal
Dr Bhaumik Joshi
Joshi, MDS
F1
• Yellow identification ring
•D0 diameter and apical taper is 20 and 0.07.
F2
• Red identification ring on handle
• D0 diameter and taper is 25 and 0.08.
F3
• Blue colored ring on handle
•D0 diameter and taper is 30 and 0.09.
Each instrument has decreasing percentage of taper from D4 to D14.

This improves flexibility and decrease the potential for taper lock

QUESTION:
What will be diameter if F2 protaper guttapercha is cut short 1 mm
from its apex?
As we know-
F2 Protaper has D0 diameter as 0.25mm and a taper of 8%
So at each 1 mm, the diameter will increase by 0.08mm
So from 1 mm from tip, the Diameter will be, 0.25+0.08 = 0.33mm
