ET TransformX Settings

For clinicians using EdgeTaper, EdgeX7, Race Evo, or similar .04/.06 taper systems.

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

Speed Range

ET files can run at speeds up to 500 RPM if preferred. Use your clinical judgement based on canal anatomy.

ET Sequence Summary

1. Glide Path — Establish with Acrobat to working length
2. Shape — ET 20/.04 to working length
3. Finish — ET 25/.04 to working length (or larger as anatomy dictates)

Between every file: Irrigate → Recapitulate → Re-Irrigate

PT TransformX Settings

For clinicians using ProTaper Gold or ProTaper Next systems.

Step	File	Speed	Torque	Purpose
1	SX	300 RPM	3.0 Ncm	Coronal Shaping
2	S1, S2	300 RPM	3.0 Ncm	Middle Third Shaping
3	F1, F2, F3	300 RPM	3.0 Ncm	Apical Finishing

PT Sequence Summary

1. Coronal — SX for initial coronal flaring
2. Shape — S1 then S2 to working length
3. Finish — F1, F2, or F3 based on apical anatomy

Between every file: Irrigate → Recapitulate → Re-Irrigate

General Guidelines

Speed Settings

• All TransformX files operate safely within standard rotary speed ranges (300–500 RPM)
• Use the speed you’re comfortable with from your current system
• Lower speeds offer more tactile feedback; higher speeds may improve cutting efficiency

Torque Settings

• Recommended torque: 2.0–3.0 Ncm depending on file size
• Auto-reverse/auto-stop torque control is recommended
• Trust your motor’s feedback—if it’s binding, back out and re-irrigate

Key Principles

1. Establish glide path first — Always confirm patency before rotary instrumentation
2. Let the file work — Avoid excessive apical pressure
3. Irrigate frequently — Between every file, minimum
4. Recapitulate — Use a small hand file to confirm patency
5. Inspect files — Discard any showing signs of fatigue
