Prior to using the XP-endo® Shaper (XP‑S), establish glide path to at least 15/.02. In calcified/constricted canals or complex curvatures, a glide path to 10/.04 is recommended.
In multirooted teeth, begin with the largest canal. The canal should always contain irrigant.
Insert the tip of the XP-S into the canal until resistance (Fig. 1), retract (tip loose) and start the motor.
Use long gentle strokes to progress down to working length (WL) (Fig. 2). If WL is not reached in 5 strokes, stop, irrigate, recapitulate and proceed again. Do not use pecking motion! Never force the instrument and always keep it spinning and moving while in the canal.
Once WL is reached, irrigate and work the instrument for 15 additional long gentle strokes to WL (Fig. 3).
Irrigate the canal in order to eliminate suspended debris.
Choose a gutta percha point that is tight and seats at the correct WL. If 30/.04 is desired and does not fit, work the XP-S for an additional 5-10 strokes.
Apply your regular irrigation protocol.
**Once all the canals have been shaped, use the XP-endo® Finisher (XP-F):

**

In multirooted teeth, begin with the largest canal. The canal should always contain irrigant.
Fix the canal working length by using the plastic tube (a) to adjust the endo stop (b) (Fig. 4).
Place the XP-F into the canal by lining up the tip facing the cusp, insert slightly into the canal (Fig. 5). Then start the motor and slowly thread the XP-F into the canal.
Use the XP-F for 1 minute (approximately 60 strokes), using slow and gentle 7-8 mm longitudinal movements to contact the full length of the canal (Fig. 6). Make small multidirectional movements and avoid removing the file from the canal..
Irrigate the canal to remove the suspended debris. A syringe tip 31G is recommended (or no bigger diameter than 30G).
Once the cleaning of the canals is completed, proceed to the next phase of treatment:
Obturate with gutta percha and sealer. TotalFill® BC Points™ and TotalFill® BC Sealer™ are recommended.
