KOMET USA can now offer practitioners ‘peace of mind’ here in the United States with the introduction of its first broken endodontic file retrieval kit. Developed in conjunction with Dr Dominique Martin of Paris, France, KOMET’s Endo Rescue Kit (Kit 4601) is specifically designed for the quick and simple retrieval of a fractured rotary nickel-titanium instrument within the canal.

This easy-to-use kit is invaluable to practitioners when an emergency occurs.

The kit comes with an H269GK.315.016 endodontic tungsten carbide bur to enlarge the pulp cavity, improving a practitioner’s vision into the canal. A center drill (G180A.204.110/G180.204.090) excavates the last few millimeters of the canal, providing the practitioner enough access to the broken instrument.

The RKP.204.090 drill exposes the instrument’s surface, and finally, an extremely-fine trepan bur (RKT.204.090) is placed onto the fragment, seizing and holding it in place using residual dentin. The broken file is then removed from the canal in a counter-clockwise motion.

The kit also comes with manual screw (150.155.000) for those practitioners who would rather not use a handpiece.

KOMET is a recognized worldwide leader in the production of highly specialized and precise dental rotary instruments. KOMET operates in the United States under the name KOMET USA, and sells direct to practitioners and dental laboratories. The company’s U.S. headquarters is located in Rock Hill, S.C.
