ESX®

So Sophisticated, It’s Simple

 

THE PATENTED* ACP™ (ALTERNATING CONTACT POINT) DESIGN

  • Efficiently cleans 3 dimensionally as the sharp cutting edges engage with the canal walls at opposing intervals.
  • Asymmetrical flute design alternates between zero to three points of engagement.
  • Moves debris coronally in a wave-like fashion.
  • Allows ESX to operate at a low-torque setting and higher speed, thereby reducing stress on the file and root.

 

ESX® PHILOSOPHY

  • The restoration of an endodontically treated tooth begins at the apex.
  • The cleaning and shaping instruments should be minimally invasive and preserve the structural integrity of the tooth.
  • The obturation materials should bond to the root canal walls, thereby strengthening the root.
  • When a post is necessary, it should not put undue stress on the root. It should have a similar modulus of elasticity to that of dentin and it should match the shape created by the last instrument used to shape the canal.
  • The system should be as safe and efficient as possible and every component should be designed to maximize the long term prognosis of the tooth.

 

ESX®: TWO-FILE SHAPING SYSTEM

  • Unlike other “simplified” file systems which utilize from one to three files, the ESX® system does not suggest that the practitioner finish specific canals to a pre-determined size. A “cookie cutter” approach can lead to under-and-over-preparation of canals.
  • The ESX® system utilizes the Expeditor™ file (#15/.05) to help the practitioner select the appropriate final apical size for each canal based on its unique anatomy.
  • Unlike other systems, the ESX® system is designed to preserve the maximum amount of coronal tooth structure, thereby maximizing the long-term prognosis of the tooth.

 

ESX® TECHNIQUE

  • Use all ESX® files at 500-600 RPM with a torque setting of 1.5-2.3 Ncm.
  • Use a “LIGHT TOUCH” and the “SINGLE STROKE AND CLEAN” technique.
  • ESX® Expeditor™ File – Provides initial shaping and helps determine the appropriate finishing file for each canal using the following guidelines:
    • Significant engagement to obtain WL = Finish with ESX® Small File #25/.04*
    • Moderate engagement to obtain WL = Finish with ESX® Medium File #35/.04
    • Minimal engagement to obtain WL = Finish with ESX® Large File #45/.04
    • No engagement to obtain WL = Finish with ESX® Extra-Large File #55/.04
