SONICflex™️ retro

  • Diamond-coated tips for axially-aligned retrograde root canal preparation according to Dr. Ilgenstein
  • Retrograde root canal sealing
  • Small access
  • Axially-aligned preparation
  • Minimal cavities

Tips for minimally invasive, axial retrograde preparation, filling of the root canal and preparation of undercuts

The problem

The retrograde root canal treatment: limited space, restricted lateral access. Bone substance has to be protected and the stability of the tooth preserved. Rotating instruments sometimes produce the opposite effect: large bone windows, more difficult axial preparation of the canal.

The solution

The KaVo SONICflex retro system (0.571.0381) permits gentle and efficient sound-based retrograde root canal treatment with contra-angle diamond-coated tips:

  • Isthmus (left and right).
  • Cylinder (left and right).
  • T-shape (left and right).
  • Special tip for displaced apices.
  • Filling instruments (left and right).

Features

  • Small, elegantly designed tips, for axially-aligned, retrograde root canal preparation in the front and side teeth areas, with minimum bone defects
  • Diamond-coated tips and the sonoabrasive technique enable, for the first time, genuine retrograde cavity preparation
  • SONICflex retro pointer makes it easy to locate main, side and connecting canals
  • Cylindrical SONICflex retro tips for root canal preparation
  • T-shaped SONICflex retro tips for preparation of undercuts
  • Special tip for axially-aligned opening and preparation of strongly orally-inclined apices
  • Preparation to a penetration depth of 5 mm feasible
  • Filling instruments of the same size for condensing the retrograde root filling material
  • SONICflex retro tips feature optimised guidance of the coolant.
  • Sterile cooling fluid can be supplied via an adapter to the SONICflex

Inserting SONICflex tips

The working end to be used is screwed onto the SONICflex handpiece with the supplied torque wrench until you feel it snap into place. The working tip is now secured in the handpiece.

If the SONICflex handpiece is to remain on the treatment unit with the tip attached, we recommend leaving the supplied screw-in aid attached so that there is no risk of injury from the working tip.

Air Scaler SONICflex

Gentle treatment due to oscillating movement of the tip with 6000 Hz.

Thanks to its versatility, the KaVo SONICflex will soon become one of your most frequently used instruments.

With more than 50 tips, which are quick and easy to replace, it adapts to your requirements
