FKG iRace Endodontic Instruments

Product Information

The iRace & iRace Plus are endodontic instruments used for shaping and irrigating the root canal during dental procedures. The instruments operate at a speed of 600 rpm with a torque of 1.5 Ncm. They come in different sizes and taper options for various cases.

Taper and ISO Diameter Identification:

• (1) Thin ring Taper: .02, .04, .06
  • R1 – 15/.06
  • R2 – 25/.04
  • R3 – 30/.04
• (2) Large ring ISO sizes:
  • R1a – 20/.02
  • R1b – 25/.02
  • R2 – 25/.04
  • R3 – 30/.04

Product Usage Instructions

For Most Cases:

1. Prepare the glide path first.
2. Introduce R1 in rotation and reach the working length (WL). If R1 does not reach the WL, proceed to step 1 of the iRace Plus protocol.
3. Continue shaping with R2 up to the WL.
4. Finish the shaping with R3 up to the WL.

For Difficult Cases:

1. Follow step 1 of the iRace protocol using R1a to reach the WL.
2. Continue shaping with R1b up to the WL.
3. Once WL is reached, continue from step 2 of the iRace protocol.

• 1 blister includes: 1 x R1, 1 x R2, 1 x R3

For most cases
straight, slightly curved and/or large Prepare glide path first, then

1. Introduce R1 in rotation and reach working length (WL); In case R1 does not reach the WL, do not force and go to step 1 of iRace Plus protocol
2. Continue shaping with R2 up to WL;
3. Finish the shaping with R3 up to WL.

iRace Plus

• 1 blister includes: 2 x (R1a + R1b)

For difficult cases
severely curved, narrow, and/or calcified

Following of iRace protocol step 1

1. Use R1a to reach WL;
2. Continue shaping with R1b up to WL;

When WL is reached, continue from step 2 of the iRace protocol.
