Description
Dentsply PathFile 25mm is a revolutionary NiTi (nickel-titanium) rotary solution designed specifically for establishing a predictable glide path in dentistry. Recognized as one of Dentistry Today’s Top 100 Products, PathFile offers a range of features that enhance flexibility and resistance to cyclic fatigue, providing numerous advantages over traditional manual stainless steel files. One of the key benefits of PathFile is its remarkable flexibility, which surpasses that of manual K-files. This increased flexibility allows for smoother navigation through the intricate canal systems of teeth, reducing the risk of iatrogenic damage and improving overall treatment outcomes. By offering enhanced flexibility, PathFile ensures better adaptation to curved canals, where traditional files may struggle to reach and shape effectively. Moreover, PathFile’s resistance to cyclic fatigue is significantly improved compared to manual stainless steel files. This means that the files can withstand repetitive use without experiencing structural deterioration or breakage. By maintaining their integrity, PathFile files provide consistent and reliable performance throughout the treatment procedure, contributing to more predictable and successful outcomes.
In addition to their flexibility and resistance to cyclic fatigue, PathFile files offer several other advantages over manual K-files. They provide a faster instrumentation time, enabling dental professionals to complete procedures more efficiently. This time-saving feature is particularly beneficial for complex cases or situations where multiple canals need to be treated. Furthermore, PathFile files exhibit reduced canal transportation compared to manual K-files. Canal transportation refers to the undesirable alteration of the original shape of the root canal during instrumentation. By minimizing canal transportation, PathFile ensures a more conservative approach to shaping, preserving the natural anatomy of the tooth and optimizing treatment results.

Direction to Use
- Begin by obtaining proper isolation and access to the tooth requiring treatment.
- Assess the anatomy of the canal and determine the appropriate PathFile size for the initial glide path preparation.
- Ensure that the handpiece and contra-angle are properly connected and securely tightened.
- Attach the PathFile to the handpiece, making sure it is firmly seated and aligned.
- Apply gentle but continuous apical pressure while engaging the PathFile into the canal entrance. Avoid excessive force or aggressive movements to prevent iatrogenic damage.
- Navigate the PathFile along the natural curvature of the canal, using a pecking motion if necessary to facilitate progress.
- Pay attention to any signs of resistance or binding and adjust the technique accordingly. If resistance is encountered, avoid forcing the file and consider using a smaller size or alternative technique.
- As the PathFile progresses, periodically withdraw it from the canal to remove debris and monitor the progress of the glide path.
- Continue the instrumentation process with progressively larger PathFile sizes until the desired glide path dimensions are achieved.
- Rinse the canal with an appropriate irrigating solution to remove debris and ensure cleanliness.
- After completing the glide path preparation, proceed with further endodontic procedures as necessary, such as shaping and obturation.
