Roydent Dental Products continues to see brisk sales of the needle most recently added to its popular Micro-Apical Placement (MAP) System. The flexible, bendable, re-usable nickel titanium (NiTi) ‘Memory Shape’ needle was introduced in 2009 and has been a valuable addition to the MAP System line. It is available in two tip diameters (0.9 mm and 1.3 mm) to meet most endodontic needs.

The NiTi Memory needle allows an endodontist to manually create any required curvature per canal anatomy. This manual flexibility makes the NiTi needle a smart choice for orthograde obturation into very narrow (Nº0) and challenging canals or perforations. Once properly autoclaved, the NiTi needle recovers its original form and can be reshaped for the next procedure. Made with the highest Swiss quality for dental use, Roydent’s NiTi needles are handy, easy-to-use, long-lasting performants that are adaptable to any MAP System.

Roydent continues to experience interest and success with the MAP System, which it introduced to the U.S. market in 2001. The MAP System is a site-specific delivery system using piston/needle devices that provide a unique, efficient method for placing IRM and root canal repair materials such as ProRoot MTA, SuperEBA, calcium hydroxide and amalgam. Ideal for microsurgery, the curved, hooked, straight, triple-angled and ‘memory shape’ needles provide access for apical (retrograde) or coronal (orthograde) material placement.

The MAP System is available in complete or intro kits that include pistons and needles with various tip diameters. Individual components are also made available separately when needed for specific applications or as replacements.

Roydent distributes MAP System products in the United States through a network of qualified dealer partners.

Established in 1985 to serve the U.S. dental market, Roydent Dental Products strives to maintain efficient, customer-focused care and provide exceptional training to endodontic specialists, general practitioners and universities while bringing quality products to the dental industry.
