Rotation speed & Torque HERO Shaper An Adapted Pitch!

• The rotation speed must be 450 to 600 rpm. Torque 1.2Ncm

First penetration
• The first penetration is performed with a conventional hand instrument
(usually a n°10 K file-MMC n°10/21mm). This is used to confirm the working length (WL),
canal anatomy and diagnosis from the pre-operative x-ray. 4%

Operating Procedures

• HERO Shaper is positioned at the canal Orifice. The motor is started and maintained at constant
speed whilst the file is working and until it is completely withdrawn from the canal.

• The file is inserted to the desired working length with a short in and out movement using light
pressure .
