Woodpecker Endodontic Ultrasonic Tips, E Series

Overview

Woodpecker E-series tips are ultrasonic tips for endodontic work, used in the E mode of an ultrasonic scaler. Each model has one job — from holding files and locating canal orifices to retreatment, broken-file removal, retro-preparation and irrigation — listed in the table below.

Uses

• Holding endodontic files (E1, E2) or burs (E8, E9)
• Locating and opening root canal orifices
• Melting and condensing gutta-percha (E3, E3D)
• Retreatment: removing filling material, calcifications and broken files
• Retrograde preparation in endodontic surgery
• Root canal irrigation after preparation

Key features

• E10D and E11D: diamond-coated (40 µm) instruments for high efficiency root planning in the retrograde preparation of root canals
• ED19D, ED20D, ED21LD, ED21RD, ED22D, ED23D, ED24D, ED25LD and ED25RD: diamond-coated, used for efficient apex modification in retropreparation
• Diamond-coated models (D) for removing calcification and filling material
• E16 and ED16: the tip end has 15 micro grooves for good cutting performance; the smooth tip extremity can reduce the risk of perforation of the pulp chamber floor; front-and-back movement is more efficient
• ED17: 15 micro-washers, good cutting performance; back-and-forth motion brings more efficient operation
• ED27: round sucker-shaped extremity, so cutting comes from the edge; no cutting effect in the axial direction, which can avoid perforation of the pulp chamber floor
• E60: minimally invasive irrigation; the spiral working part is not sharp, with basically no cutting ability, effectively avoiding the root canal shape from being destroyed, bringing efficient and safe operation
• E62: minimally invasive irrigation; smooth working part, effectively avoiding the root canal shape from being destroyed, bringing safer operation
• E66: sharp K-shaped spiral working part has strong cutting ability; it can effectively clean out the debris in the root canal by using it under low power
• Polymer irrigation tips E70–E74 (E71–E74 on the E70 endochuck): the polymer working part has no cutting ability and effectively prevents the root canal morphology from being damaged; autoclavable; the problem of instrument separation can be solved effectively and safely
• E93–E99 irrigation needles are only for the Woodpecker Ultrasonic Endo Activator
• E87, E88 and E89 broken-file tips: jointly developed with Dr. Yoshi Terauchi
