3 Company Portrait Founded in 1869 by C. W. Zipperer, VDW had its roots in the production of parts and tools for the watch industy. 20 years later, with the experience gained in precision engineering, the first dental products were manufactured: B2 reamers and barbed broaches, both products are still on the market. VDW is the only manufacturer worldwide to specialise exclusively in endodontic products and services. This guarantees a dedicated focus on one of the most challenging procedures in dentistry. In constant communication with the international dental community we develop substantial innovative concepts and create new products and systems to simplify, improve and enhance the work of the dentist. Today, we offer a full range of innovative and traditional endodontic products from access preparation over electronic length determination and modern NiTi systems to obturation devices. Needs and wishes of the dentist are the centre of our work. ISO certified Certified manufacturer of medical devices classes I and IIa according to 93/42/EEC - 3 -

4 one file endo Single file root canal preparation Simplicity Through: The Reciprocating Movement RECIPROC Root canal preparation with an innovative twist! R25 The RECIPROC instrument alternates between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. Due to the fact that the rotation in the cutting direction is larger than the reverse rotation, the instrument advances towards the apex. The reciprocating movement relieves stress on the instrument and, therefore, reduces the risk of cyclic fatigue caused by tension and compression (De-Deus et al. 2010; Varela-Patiño et al. 2010). At the same time, reciprocation ensures that the instrument stays centred in the canal. The reciprocating movement allows root canals to be prepared with one single instrument. ø 16 mm 1.05 mm by VDW Reciprocation 3 mm 0.49 mm 2 mm 0.41 mm 1 mm 0.33 mm 0 mm 0.25 mm - 4 -

5 Simplicity Through: A Specific Instrument Design An innovative instrument for a complete preparation RECIPROC ISO sizes and tapers give an optimal apical preparation in most cases according to the canal anatomy. A regressive taper for a preparation with no unnecessary loss of tooth substance Instruments are slimmer at the end of the working part than most conical NiTi instruments of comparable ISO size. Proven cleaning ability RECIPROC cleans even severely curved canals (Bürklein et al. 2012). Suitable for preparation of severely curved and narrow canals R25 is specifically designed for such canal anatomies. No initial hand filing in the majority of cases Severely curved and narrow canals can be successfully prepared with R25. Radiographs: Dr. Ghassan Yared Ontario, Canada [...] In reciprocation, clockwise and counterclockwise angles determine the amplitude of reciprocation, the right and left rotations. These angles, stored in the motor, are significantly lower than the angles at which the RECIPROC instrument would usually fracture (if bound). When a reciprocating instrument binds in the canal, it will not fracture because it will never rotate past its specific angle of fracture. Therefore, the creation of a glide path to minimise binding is not required for the RECIPROC instruments. I want to introduce the notion of the path of least resistance.the reciprocation technique s centring ability together with the design of the RECIPROC instrument and its increased cutting ability allows the RECIPROC instrument to follow the existing and natural path of least resistance, which is the root canal. [...] More information about glide path management on Dr. Ghassan Yared Ontario, Canada

16 One easy and safe system from preparation to obturation Root canal preparation Power in Control Easy to switch from manual to mechanical root canal preparation Simple: One sequence for all canals. Single Length: All instruments are brought to full working length. Simultaneous Shaping: Mtwo cuts automatically while advancing apically and also laterally when using a brushing file movement. Well thought through system: Each instrument creates a glide path for the next one. No unnecessary loss of tooth substance: Mtwo only removes as much substance as necessary. Advantages: reliable mechanical glide path, efficient dentine removal, effective shaping and safe preparation of all canal anatomies.

18 Intelligent Design Superior Cutting Efficiency and Flexibility For an efficient root canal preparation Each instrument has a specific design to ensure fast and safe preparation. Reliable mechanical glide path preparation with instrument sizes 10/.04 and 15/.05 Large, constant helical angle and hence more spirals for increased instrument stability. Efficient dentine removal and precise shaping with instrument sizes 20/.06 and 25/.06 Active cutting blades and a progressive pitch enable efficient dentine removal and excellent lateral cutting ability. Effective preparation without unnecessary loss of tooth substance with instrument sizes 30/.05, 35/.04, 40/.04 The instruments reduced taper means the apical third is enlarged without unnecessarily weakening the tooth. Increased safety due to minimum stress. Trouble-free preparation of larger canals with instruments such as the 50/.04 or 40/.06 A reduced cross-section for instruments with larger ISO sizes and tapers ensures instrument flexibility and safe root canal preparation.

19 S-shaped cross-section with two active cutting edges 10/.04 25/.06 Small instrument core for high flexibility Minimum radial wall contact for efficient dentine removal Large and deep flutes for continuous upwards transportation of dentine chips Reduced cross-section for Mtwo instruments with larger ISO sizes and greater tapers such as the Mtwo 40/.06 Small pitch, more cutting edges Progressive pitch Non-cutting tip A small pitch and thus more cutting edges enables increased instrument stability. A progressive pitch allows for high lateral cutting efficiency and prevents undesired screw-in effect
