INSPIRED to find a simpler and safer way to successfully prepare a root canal, whilst complying with the highest quality requirements, VDW developed RECIPROC®.It’s possible to prepare even complex root canals with predictable results using just one instrument.
A RECIPROC instrument is designed for single use in maximum one molar. As with all nickel-titanium instruments, it should be examined during the treatment and discarded if signs of wear, such as untwisting, can be seen. If an instrument appears to be bent after being used in a strongly curved canal, it should be discarded.
The RECIPROC system is designed for convenience and safety. The instruments are delivered ready to use, pre-sterilised in blister packaging and should be simply discarded after use, making work flow more efficient; eliminating the need to clean and sterilise instruments, considerably reducing the risk of contamination to office personnel and eliminating the risk of cross contamination to patients.
One RECIPROC instrument does the job of several instruments which would need to be used for preparation with regular hand or continuous rotary instruments. The RECIPROC instrument cannot be autoclaved due to its non-autoclavable handle. This safety feature protects against metal fatigue caused by over-use.

In most cases, the R25 will be suitable in size for the root canal treatment. Consult the pre-operative radiograph to see if the canal is likely to be considered as narrow, medium or wide:
Root canals prepared with RECIPROC instruments have a shape suitable for all obturation techniques.
