How much the file widens per mm. Higher taper = more aggressive cutting. | ||||
Rotational speed (RPM). Follow manufacturer settings to prevent file breakage. | ||||
Rotational force limit (Ncm). Prevents file fracture by auto-reversing when resistance is too high. | ||||

Clinical Tips
- MaxWire expands at body temperature (Af ~35°C)
- Designed to adapt to oval and irregular canal shapes — literature shows improved wall contact vs conventional files, though untouched areas may remain (PMC6721469)
- Minimizes transportation in curved canals
- Higher RPM (800-1000) than conventional files
Warnings
- Must use at body temperature for expansion
- Requires proper glide path (#15 minimum)
- Single use only (maximum 4 canals per file per IFU)
- Low torque setting recommended (1.0 Ncm per manufacturer DFU)
- Contains nickel — do not use in patients with nickel allergy/sensitivity
- Check expiry date before use; do not use if packaging is damaged
- Inspect instrument for visible defects before each use
Obturation Techniques
Single cone, warm vertical, carrier-based & lateral compaction
