Is Saving More Tooth
TruShape 3D Conforming Files are the next evolution in cleaning and shaping the complex canal anatomy. They allow you to preserve more dentinal structure while removing pulp and debris along the entire root canal. And they provide advantages to cleaning a root canal system compared to conventional instrumentation techniques with ISO rotary files.
The TruShape family
Shaping files
TruShape Orifice Modifier
The TruShape Orifice Modifier is designed to modify the orifice and create an ideal receptacle for the introduction of TruShape 3D Conforming Files. It features:
- An active cutting cross-section
- Fluted length of about 7 mm
- A maximum fluted diameter (MFD) of .75mm to facilitate conservative radicular access
- Blue wire NiTi for strength and flexibility
TruShape 3D Conforming Files
See the 3D Conforming Difference. The S-shape makes it possible.
The key to the TruShape difference lies in the file’s unique S-shape design, allowing it to conform to areas of the canal larger than the nominal file size. This creates an envelope of motion that better disrupts biofilms for improved bacterial reduction. As a result, TruShape 3D Conforming Files allow you to preserve more dentinal structure while removing pulp and debris along the entire root canal.
- Contact up to 75% of walls along the entire canal.
- Create a predictable apical shape with up to 32% less transportation.
- Now your file helps with disinfection by disrupting biofilms and significantly reducing bacteria.
- Remove up to 36% less dentin with superior overall shaping.

TruShape Conform Fit Gutta-Percha Points
The TruShape Conform-Fit gutta-percha master cones combine a "Tru" apical shape with a parallel mid root and coronal design. This provides the clinician a master cone adaptable to irregular geometries for a variety of clinical situations.
- Precision-machined
- Micronized formula delivers warm gutta-percha > 4 mm beyond the heat source
- Maximum coronal diameter of .70mm to prevent binding in conservative preps
Accessories

- Feathered tip
- Can be cut to any size
- Available in sizes .04 and .06

Testimonials
"When using TruShape 3D Conforming Files, clinicians will find the shape reflects the natural anatomy, with no apical transportation." said Dr. Antonio Berto, "I’ve found the files have better contact with canal walls, allowing for a better cleaning of irregular geometries and a better disruption of biofilms to reduce bacteria, all while removing less dentin than conventional ISO preparation.”

Research
Shen Y, Hieawy A, Huang X, Wang Z, Maezono H, Haapasalo M. Fatigue Resistance of a 3-dimensional Conforming Nickel-Titanium Rotary Instrument in Double Curvatures. J Endod. 2016; In Press
Conclusion: TruShape was superior to ProFile and Vortex Blue in terms of fatigue resistance in double curvature canals.
Bonessio N, Arias A, Lomiento G, Peters OA. Effect of root canal treatment procedures with a novel rotary nickel-titanium instrument (TruShape) on stress in mandibular molars: a comparative finite element analysis. Odontology. 2016.
Conclusion: The limited (up to 0.7 %) retained radicular dentin in the TruShape versus the Vortex cavity proved effective in reducing masticatory stresses.
Peters OA, Arias A, Paqué F. A Micro-computed Tomographic Assessment of Root Canal Preparation with a Novel Instrument, TruShape, in Mesial Roots of Mandibular Molars. J Endod. 2015;41(9):1545-50.
Conclusion: TruShape provided conservation of dentin by limiting dentin removal and in the absence of substantial canal transportation. In the present study, the use of TruShape in the mesial canals of mandibular molars did not result in decreased amounts of unprepared canal surface.
Bortoluzzi EA, Carlon D, Meghil MM, et al. Efficacy of 3D conforming nickel-titanium rotary instruments in eliminating canal wall bacteria from oval-shaped root canals. J Dent. 2015;43(5):597-604.
Conclusion: TruShape files removed significantly more canal wall bacteria than Twisted Files when used without an antibacterial irrigant; the latter is required to decontaminate dentinal tubules.
