Reamers for Endodontic Procedures
Dentsply Sirona carries a variety of precision endodontic instruments designed to support your clinical preferences and generate optimal clinical outcomes. Our selection of K-reamers is made with quality stainless steel and superior manufacturing methods to fulfill an essential role in achieving canal negotiation and glide path creation.
Adequate hand file negotiation and glide path can prevent file fracture, canal transportation, and inadequate cleaning and shaping. Many consider an ideal access cavity preparation the first step in a successful root canal treatment.

The Clinical Advantage
K-Reamer and K-Files enlarge the canal with a longitudinal filing and a rotational cutting action. The choice between the two types of instruments is largely clinician preference, but hand files remain fundamental to endodontic practice.
The hand file resistance to apical advancement helps determine treatment strategy by providing an understanding of curvature, calcification, and length. They offer the distinct advantage of letting the clinician feel the canal anatomy prior to shaping.
Reamers are used in rotation, and this reaming motion is associated with less canal transportation than a watch-winding movement used by K-files. The dental device also has fewer spirals than K-files and typically a triangular cross-section – factors that make reamers a flexible and effective rotary cutting instrument.
Lexicon Pre-Sterilized K-Reamers
From access to obturation, the Lexicon brand offers a full line of Swiss and German made precision instruments. Lexicon K-Reamers have a solid design for accurate handling & superior cutting ability.
Used for exploration, patency, establishing glide path, shaping, & apical gauging. The K-Reamer has an open file design with three cutting edges, making it an excellent choice when enlarging the root canal. The stainless-steel file efficiently carries away debris and promotes less canal transportation.
The reamers feature rubber stoppers and calibration rings. Available in 3 lengths, the Lexicon K-Reamer is sold in packs of six.
Lexicon Pre-Sterilized K-Files
K-Files are the most universal hand file, appropriate for many indications. The files work in a watch-winding motion and have more spirals than a K-reamer, with a 3- or 4-sided configuration.
This category of endodontic files offers options in design and application – such a variable or accentuated file taper, nickel-titanium construction, and safe-ended tips. To find out more about K-Files from Dentsply Sirona and our commitment to real-world clinical solutions, follow the link below.
