DESCRIPTION
Â
The Dontics K400 K-File Reciprocation Handpiece – a revolutionary tool designed to elevate the practice of endodontics. Engineered with cutting-edge precision, the K400 Handpiece is a versatile instrument that seamlessly adapts to micromotor and systems, setting a new standard in root canal procedures.
At its core, the K400 Handpiece boasts a recommended speed range of 3000-4000 RPM, enhanced by a specialized 10:2 reduction gear. This innovative gearing system ensures optimal efficiency, while its distinctive design replicates the familiar watch-winding motion. The handpiece's oscillation of 30 degrees forward and 30 degrees backward mirrors the trusted hand-file technique, offering consistent and controlled movement.
One of the standout features of the K400 is its compatibility with a wide array of hand files. The specialized cartridge mechanism enables seamless attachment and supports nearly all hand files, enhancing versatility and convenience. The synchronized 30-degree oscillation of the cartridge mimics proven endodontic practices, reducing the risk of file unwinding and promoting economical root canal procedures.

HOW TO USE
Â
Â
Preparation:
- Ensure that the K400 Handpiece is properly attached to a compatible micromotor
- Confirm that the handpiece is set within the recommended speed range of 3000 to 4000 RPM.
- Have the appropriate hand file ready for use.
Inserting the Hand File:
- Gently insert the selected hand file into the specialized cartridge of the K400 Handpiece. The cartridge design allows for easy attachment.
Positioning:
- Position the handpiece at the access point of the tooth requiring endodontic treatment. Maintain proper lighting and visibility for accurate placement.
Engaging the Oscillation:
- Activate the handpiece using the control mechanism on the micromotor. The handpiece will initiate the oscillation of 30 degrees forward and 30 degrees backward, mimicking the watch-winding motion.
Applying Controlled Pressure:
- Hold the handpiece with a comfortable grip, allowing the oscillation to guide the hand file gently into the root canal. It's important to exert controlled pressure while maintaining a consistent movement.
Reciprocating Motion:
- Allow the K400 Handpiece to guide the hand file through the root canal using its reciprocating motion. Avoid excessive force that may lead to file breakage.
Progressive Movement:
- Gradually advance the hand file deeper into the root canal, taking advantage of the synchronized oscillation for efficient filing. Continue until the desired working length is achieved.
Monitoring and Adjusting:
- Continuously monitor the hand file's progress within the canal. If you encounter resistance, gently withdraw the hand file slightly before re-engaging the reciprocation motion.
Completion:
- Once the desired filing depth is reached and the root canal is adequately prepared, deactivate the handpiece.
File Removal:
- Carefully detach the hand file from the specialized cartridge, ensuring proper disposal or sterilization procedures as required by infection control protocols.
