Vortex Blue Rotary Files

The color of performance

The distinctive color of Vortex Blue rotary files is a visible titanium oxide layer resulting from Dentsply Sirona's proprietary processing of NiTi wire for optimum performance. But the real differences become apparent when you try Vortex Blue rotary files for yourself.

Efficient. Flexible. Brilliant.

Developed by specialists

A patented design serves to significantly improve cutting efficiency and safety.*

The name you know and trust

Features the same simplicity, smoothly tapered shapes and predictable performance of ProTaper Universal with enhanced metallurgy.

Improved cross-section

The convex triangular cross-section enhances cutting action while decreasing rotational friction between the blade of the file and dentin.*

Non-cutting tip design

Allows each instrument to safely follow the secured portion of the canal while the small flat area on the tip enhances its ability to find its way through soft tissue and debris.*

Comparison of ProFile ISO and Vortex Blue Files

Vortex Blue Rotary Files

Greater resistance to cyclic fatigue

Cyclic fatigue is the leading cause of file separation.1

Vortex Blue rotary files offer a remarkable leap forward in resistance to cyclic fatigue.2  The numbers say it all:

  • Minimum of 65% improvement over cyclic fatigue resistance over M-Wire NiTi.
  • Minimum of 99% improvement in cyclic fatigue resistance over standard NiTi.  Maximum results up to 353% better.

It’s a new standard in durability for shaping curved canals with confidence.

 

Increased torque strenth

In rotary file design, increased cyclic fatigue resistance usually comes with a trade-off in torque strength. Vortex Blue rotary files are different. In addition to significantly greater resistance to cyclic fatigue, they offer at least a 42% higher peak torque strength increase over M-Wire NiTi.2  Maximum results up to 126% better.

That’s strength you can count on.


Obturation materials

Vortex Blue Conform Fit Gutta-Percha Points

Vortex Blue Conform Fit Gutta-Percha points are precision machined to match Vortex Blue files and deliver warm gutta-percha 4.5+mm beyond the heat source. 

Vortex Obturators

Vortex obturators are color-coded and precision matched to fit the shapes created by Vortex & Vortex Blue files.

  • Color-coded handles provide a simple transition from instrumentation to obturation
  • Flexibility allows for filling of even the most challenging anatomy
  • Single insertion simplicity is more effective than lateral condensation
  • Less technique-sensitive than warm vertical compaction procedures

Vortex Size Verifiers

  • Shape verifiers that ensure a passive fit of the obturator in the canal
  • Designed with a flute, which also makes them excellent for minor apical shaping
  • Made of nickel-titanium, they can be heat sterilized for reuse
  • .045 taper in design and ensure that the obturator core and surrounding flowable gutta-percha will have sufficient space to reach working length

Accessories

Vortex Absorbent Paper Points

Vortex absorbent points are made to correspond with the four Vortex file sizes, helping to dry canals and remove excess sealer.

  • Sterilized 
  • .04 & .06 sizing (color-ended)
  • Fit all Vortex-prepared canals (incl. Vortex Blue)
  • Sold in box of 180 points

Compatible equipment

Dentsply Sirona offers two motors choices with pre-programmed settings for Vortex Blue Rotary Files.

X-Smart IQ Cordless Endo Motor

Redefining the Endo Experience

X-Smart IQ is a continuous and reciprocating cordlesss motor controlled by an Apple® iOS® application. In one cordless handpiece, you get a full-treatment solution that supports you through every step of your endodontic process - from patient education to treatment data.

ProMark Endo Motor

The Mark of Performance

Built upon a tradition of performance and reliability, the ProMark is our most versatile and complete endodontic motor for rotary and reciprocation. The brushless motor delivers the ample power and consistency of full A/C mains power and is compatible with a variety of e-type handpieces

ThermaPrep Obturator Oven

ThermaPrep obturator oven heats carrier-based obturators to help ensure proper flowability of the warm gutta-percha and ultimately a more complete fill. Obturators ready in less than 1 minute and after the bip, obturators are kept at the right temperature during 90 seconds. 3-dimensional heat with no pre-heating time.
