ET Technique Guide
This guide is for clinicians using the ET TransformX system, designed for those familiar with EdgeTaper, EdgeX7, Race Evo, and other .04/.06 taper systems.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- Established access cavity
- Working length determined
- Glide path confirmed to working length
Motor Settings
Section titled “Motor Settings”| Step | File | Speed | Torque | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acrobat 13/.03 | 300 RPM | 2.0–2.5 Ncm | Glide Path |
| 2 | ET 20/.04 | 350 RPM | 3.0 Ncm | Shaping |
| 3 | ET 25/.04 | 350 RPM | 3.0 Ncm | Finishing |
Step-by-Step Sequence
Section titled “Step-by-Step Sequence”Step 1: Glide Path
Section titled “Step 1: Glide Path”- Use Acrobat 13/.03 at 300 RPM, 2.0–2.5 Ncm
- Establish reproducible glide path to working length
- Irrigate thoroughly
Step 2: Shaping
Section titled “Step 2: Shaping”- Use ET 20/.04 at 350 RPM, 3.0 Ncm
- Shape to working length
- Irrigate → Recapitulate → Re-irrigate
Step 3: Finishing
Section titled “Step 3: Finishing”- Use ET 25/.04 at 350 RPM, 3.0 Ncm
- Complete apical sizing
- Select larger sizes (30/.04, 35/.04) based on anatomy if needed
Key Points
Section titled “Key Points”- Always irrigate between files
- Recapitulate with a small hand file after each rotary
- Re-irrigate before proceeding to the next file
- Confirm patency throughout the procedure
- Let the file work — avoid excessive apical pressure
Avatar™ Tip Advantage
Section titled “Avatar™ Tip Advantage”The Avatar tip design allows the file to:
- Navigate canal curvatures with less transportation
- Maintain centred preparation
- Reduce the risk of ledging or perforation
- Support controlled termination in the optimal apical zone
