1. Create straight line access to canal orifices.

2. Locate canals and explore using small stainless steel hand instruments. Minimum size #15K file required prior to rotary use.

3. Verify patency, establish working length, and confirm reproducible glide path to apex.

4. Using NaOCL, irrigate canals and slowly engage G1 following established glide path.

5. Use G1 in a brushing motion until resistance is felt. If file does not reach working length, re-establish patency with stainless steel hand files. Repeat until G1 reaches working length.

6. Use G2 in same manner as G1 until working length is reached.

7. Reconfirm working length and use C1 in a nonbrushing motion. If the file is snug and flutes are full of dentin, you can proceed to disinfection and obturation.

8. If C1 is loose and flutes do not have dentin, proceed to C2, C3, C4, or C5.

Note: Lubrication and irrigation are recommended for all files. Use only light apical pressure, never force the files.

• Use generous amounts of lubrication with all instruments.

• Irrigate in-between all instruments.

• Always confirm working length prior to using rotary instruments.

• Never force files.

• Use all Channels® PT™ Precision Tapered rotary files in constant rotation at a speed of 300–400 RPMs.

• Inspect files for distortion or wear, such as uneven/unwound flutes.

• Use shaping files with a brushing action on the withdrawal stroke in order to refine straight-line access.

• C1-C5 should follow canal passively to working length, then be withdrawn.

• Use the GX after the G1 and G2 to optimally shape canals in shorter roots.

• In more curved canals, take any Channels® PT™ Precision Tapered rotary C instrument to length only one time and for no more than one second or you may risk transportation.

• Channels® PT™ Precision Tapered rotary files are single-patient use devices.
