Waldent Professional K-File 21mm
Waldent Professional K File is manufactured by twisting or grinding a square or triangular tapered shaft so that the cutting edges are almost perpendicular to the long access of the instrument. Designed with four cutting edges & a 60° tip with 135° cutting angle with good cutting ability. This together with its tight spiral ensure a safe preparation. With more refined cutting edge, square cross section, these files lasts upto 8-10 endodontic cases.
K file is the Strongest of the Hand File.
- Have Less Separation Potential.
- Have Potential to Bypass Obstruction with Great Ease.
- Provide Smooth Tactile Feel while Instrumentation.
- Used with Rasping, Pulling Motion or Watch Winding Motion.
- Tighter Flutes, with more in number when compared to reamer.
- Handles are made up of Medical Grade Plastic, which are ISO Color-Coded & numbered according to size.
- The file comes with Radio – Opaque markings for easy length measurement.
- Blades are made of a Special Stainless Steel Alloy, which allows a high degree of Elasticity & Tensile Strength.
- Inactive Pilot Tip.
INDICATION -
For cleaning and shaping of canals
Negotiating the canals with hand files prior to using rotary files
Can be used as a pre-bent file in curved canals.
ADVANTAGES:
Sharp and mirror-like finishing edge.
It has high ductility makes for excellent working characteristics.
Its hard-fiber stainless steel prevents corrosion after repeated cleaning and sterilization.

TECHNIQUES FOR USE -
Watch Winding Technique-
The use of the file in a forward and backward motion, as if watch winding, with slight apical pressure. This allows the file to effectively debride the canal dentine by moving slowly down the canal.
For K-type files, once the file has reached the desired working length a push and pulling action is used around the circumference of the canal, while only maintaining contact with the canal wall on the outstroke to minimise a debris blockage apically
