FQ Rotary File System

Mechanical Preparation

Apart from the basic task of removing as much infected tissue from the root canals as possible, the mechanical preparation of root canals is focused on providing the canal with a tapered shape. This allows reliable disinfection and tight obturation of the canal. With NiTi instruments, high-quality work can be done in a reliable manner. In the last few years, several Endo Motors for mechanical files have been established on the market. The product range provided by Komet comprises both rotary and reciprocating file systems.

FQ. - The easiest way to a successful Endo.

Every endo is unique. And so is FQ: A well thought-through innovative system to make the treatment easier, more efficient and safer. It is a convincing all-in-one-solution that transfers Komet's experience into a new generation of files. This new rotary nickel-titanium file system allows for an effective and minimally invasive treatment of difficult root-canals. The innovative variably tapered file-core has a double-S cross section and offers maximum flexibility and cutting performance. The pre-bendable files cut easily and grant a pleasant and safe working experience.

Komet's efficient, flexible, and reliable file system.

Heat-treated nickel-titanium. The higher resistance to cyclic fatigue minimizes the risk of file fracture. Better access to the root canals and lower risk of zipping and ledges, as the file is pre-bendable and very flexible.

Double-S cross section. Efficient treatment thanks to the excellent cutting performance. The narrow core of the file allows for optimal flexibility.

Concise system. Clearly laid out basic sequence containing a small number of well-matched instruments to save time during root canal treatments. However, the comprehensive, versatile portfolio also allows the compilation of individually adapted file sequences to suit the requirements of the canal anatomy.

Variably tapered file core.* The variably tapered file core enlarges the chip space. Infected tissue is transported out of the canal more efficiently and the duration of the treatment is shortened. Thanks to the heat-treated material, the variably tapered file core is very flexible. The file follows the anatomy even in very curved canals. The treatment becomes safer.

FQ System Components

FQ Opener

• Shapes the canal entry to create an ideal and straight access
• Access to narrow canals, especially MB2
• Screws in easily to access the entry of the canal

FQ Files | taper .04

• Minimally-invasive treatment concept
• Maximum preservation of tooth structure and preservation of the natural root canal morphology
• Ideally suited for single-cone obturation

FQ Files | taper .06

• Optimal preparation for an efficient cleaning of the root canal
• Most flexibility when it comes to choosing the obturation method
• Ideally suited for all types of obturation; including warm-vertical obturation
• Particularly efficient for retreatments

FQ Glider

• Effective and optimal transition to the shaping files
• Creates a functional and repeatable glide path
• Compared to purely manual glide path creation, the user saves valuable time

FQ. Performance & Durability

FQ emerges as winner from the latest Dental Advisor study. When performing an endodontic treatment, you put your trust in the performance of your instruments. A recent study by the Dental Advisor Biomaterials Research Center now reveals the yet to be matched reliability of rotary FQ files.

A game-changer when it comes to cutting speed. The data shows remarkable results for FQ rotary files when it comes to cutting efficiency. Compared to ProTaper UltimateTM, FQ rotary files demonstrated an impressive cutting speed that is 24 % faster than that of their competitors.

Groundbreaking in thorough treatments. Effective debris removal is crucial for successful endodontic treatments, and FQ rotary files have demonstrated their superiority in this aspect. They excel in removing debris, surpassing ProTaper UltimateTM by a significant margin. The pronounced grooves of FQ rotary files contribute to the creation of long strips of debris, ensuring thorough elimination from the canals.

Performance built to last. When it comes to cyclic fatigue resistance, FQ stands out as a true champion. The data reveals that these files exhibit a remarkable 110 % to 228 % increase in cyclic fatigue resistance compared to ProTaper UltimateTM. What's even more impressive is that all files survived beyond the challenging threshold of three canals, thus proving their unrivaled durability.

FQ sets new standards. These findings highlight the exceptional performance and reliability of FQ rotary files, making them the preferred choice for dental professionals seeking highquality endodontic instruments.

Available in the lengths 21 mm, 25 mm and 31 mm (6 files in each blister pack)
