Abstract:

The Self-Adjusting File (SAF) represents a paradigm-shift in modern endodontics, as the first instrument that truly addresses the basic cleaning, shaping and irrigation principles of endodontic treatment in all three dimensions. The SAF is a hollow file designed as an elastically compressible, thin-walled pointed cylinder that is composed of a nickeltitanium lattice. This motorized file is used as a single instrument to achieve complete 3D root canal cleaning and shaping in a minimally invasive way. Its hollow shape allows for the continuous flow of irrigant through its lumen to achieve superior disinfection. The SAF?s mode of operation eliminates many of the risks and drawbacks attributed to rotary NiTi files, leading to better and safer treatment. The SAF is supported by dozens of research papers published in the leading endodontic journals, representing its superiority over rotary files and turning it into a true evidence-based endodontic concept.
