"I love the miniKUT files. I use The BlackJack for tight canals, MB2, and others and enjoy how it follows the canal and removes debris without worry of breaking. I will sometimes use the EZP without using a hand file and it works so well I am working on transitioning mostly to that approach. Best files I have ever used in 35 years of practicing endodontics!"

Case 3:

Tooth #2, necrotic case with normal apical diagnosis. Initial shaping with BlackJack, orifice opener and 15/03 miniKUT EZP. Two separate palatal roots and canals were easily negotiated with the EZP. Final apical file was the miniKUT 25/.03, with shaping up to 35/.05 within 2 mm of apex. Bio-Ceramic Sealer with miniKUT GP using continuous wave condensation technique.

Case 2:

This mandibular first molar has the radix anatomical variation where the distal lingual canal is often found having curvatures in multiple planes. Initial negotiation was with the BlackJack file, and all canals were negotiated to length with the miniKUT EZP (15/03) without the need for a hand file. Final cleaning and shaping was completed to the apex with the miniKUT 25/03 and miniKUT 35/05 Shaping Files were used to within 3 mm of the apex. A Dentatus Gold Post was passively placed. The miniKUT Files make treating challenging cases so much simpler and can be used safely! Best files ever!

Case 1:

The distal canal was negotiated to the apex with a SS 10 K file, and the mesials were negotiated to within 5-6 mm of the apex with the same file. I used the MiniKUT Orifice Opener (15/07) on all canals then the miniKUT EZP (15/.03) was able to work its way to the apex easily. I am thoroughly impressed with the miniKUT EZP and how safely it follows even torturous canals. Best file ever! I completed the case with the miniKUT 25/.03 to the apex and miniKUT 30/05 and 35/05 Shapers as far as they fit comfortably. The case was obturated with PlanB Bio-Ceramic Sealer and Gutta Percha under warm vertical condensation.
