the apex of any canal while applying far less apical and rotational force.
Instructions for use with the Endo-Express® and manual use:
White
1. Using an apex locator, negotiate .5mm past the apical
15
constriction with a Gray 08 or Purple 10 SafeSider. This can
be achieved with either hand instrumentation or by using the
Yellow
Endo-Express reciprocating handpiece (EDS Cat No. 5500-
20
00). (Use the Endo-Express reciprocating handpiece
between 2,500 - 3,000 RPM for optimal results).
Use a firm pecking motion. Limit the degree of firmness just
short of buckling the instrument along the shank.
Note: After apical measurement use a rubber stop to mark recorded length as your
guide for instrumentation. (EDS recommends SafeSiders Endo Stops EDS Cat. No.
5000-06)
2. After establishing the length, use the White 15 and Yellow 20 SafeSiders .5mm past the
apical constriction to establish the glide path.mmAlways
short keeping the canal irrigated with a
solution of approximately 5.25% NaOCl and instruments
of apex well lubricated with RC-Prep.

C) 35 (Green) 3mm
3. After the Yellow 20 SafeSider, use(Red)

canal. The most efficient and safest way to do this is to flare the canal away from
A) 25
the furcation (if one exists) and then gradually deepen. The primary purpose here
is to straighten the canal curve. In most cases getting within 6mm of the apex is no
problem. If a firm pecking
motion leaves you 1 or 2 mm
short of this mark do not
attempt to gain this depth by
pressing harder. Keep the
depth you have gained for
now. Recheck apical measure-
ment and patency with the
Yellow 20.
4. Instrument .5mm past the apical constriction with the Red 25 SafeSider reamer.
5. Instrument to the apical constriction with the Blue 30 SafeSider reamer.
6. If you are using the optional Orange 30/.04 SafeSider NiTi reamer, intrument to
the apical constriction.
(Note: Before placing the NiTi instruments into the root canal always bend it about
80-90 degrees in your hand first. If it does not break when you bend it, it is safe to
use as instructed without fear of fracture. EDS recommends using all NiTi SafeSiders
in the Endo-Express reciprocation handpiece. The slight reciprocating motion helps
eliminate binding in the canal).
7. Instrument to the apical constriction with the Green 35 SafeSider reamer.
8. Instrument 1mm short with the with the Black 40 SafeSider reamer.
9. Instrument .5mm past the apical constriction with the Pink 25/.06. The Brown
25/.08 SafeSider NiTi reamer is optional (If used instrument 2mm short). Again
these are used with a firm pecking motion. (Please see note in step 5 above).
10. After the use of the Pink 25/.06 or Brown 25/.08 SafeSider you have estab-
lished an apical preparation of 25 and a 06 or 08 taper that creates a shape that
allows the intimate fit of a medium gutta percha point. EDS recommends the use of
the EZ-Fill Obturation System (EDS Cat No. 1600-00, 1605-00, 1620-00 or, 1625-00).
Note if used manually:
Use in a clockwise - counter clockwise winding motion. Never use in a push-pull
stroke which tends to block canals and drive debris over the apex. Clockwise rota-
tion engages the dentin and counterclockwise rotation disengages from the dentin.
If significant resistance is met when rotating into the tooth do not force it further.
Use a wrist watch (clockwise - counter clockwise) winding motion to engage and
disengage until the apex is reached.
Note: To ensure practical instrumentation sharpness.
EDS recommends discarding the SafeSiders after 6 uses.
