• File sequence. 17.04, 20.04 and 25.04 were used for the mesial canals. 17.04, 20.04, 25.04 and 30.04 were used for the distal canal (Fig.4).
• Torque and speed. 350 rpm, 3.5 Ncm
• Irrigation. EdgeEndo 5% NaOCl, followed by EdgeMix (Fig. 5) to disinfect the root canal system.
• Recapitulation. Used with size #10 file to maintain patency.

• Enhanced flexibility: The EdgeFile X7’s flexible design allows it to follow the natural contours of the canal, minimizing the risk of damaging the tooth.
• Fire-Wire heat treatment: The proprietary heat treatment enhances the cyclic fatigue resistance and torsional resistance of the file, making it durable and able to withstand demanding conditions.
• Safety: The flexibility reduces the chances of instrument fracture and perforation, making it a safer option for endodontic procedures.
