Abstract

CANTARINI, Carlos; ENSINAS, Pablo  and  ARANGUREN CANGAS, José. BlueShaper: a new multialloy system for mechanized instrumentation in endodontics. Brief communication. Rev. Asoc. Odontol. Argent. [online]. 2023, vol.111, n.2, pp.4-4. ISSN 2683-7226.  http://dx.doi.org/10.52979/raoa.1110871.1214.

The aim of this communication was to describe and analyze the BlueShaper system for the mechanized surgical preparation of root canals.

The system has a basic set of 4 files: Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4, with 0.14 mm, 0.17 mm, 0.19 mm and 0.25 mm DO respectively, and variable conicity ranging between 2 and 10 %. Z1 file has a Pink alloy, which gives it greater resistance to torsion and great cutting capacity. The Z2, Z3 and Z4 files feature a Blue alloy that increases resistance to cyclic fatigue and increases their flexibility. For larger root canals, the Z5, Z6 and Z7 files are also included. The company supplies specific BlueShaper´s gutta-percha cones for Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6 and Z7 files. The BlueShaper multialloy file system could be considered as a new clinical contribution for the mechanical preparation of root canals.

Keywords : BlueShaper; heat treatment; mechanized instrumentation; multialloy system.
