Advanced technology, faster, better results*
Introducing the VET Flex&Preserve endodontic scouting and shaping solution designed for the veterinary patient—from the global dentistry brand you know and trust.
The Vet Flex&Preserve file allows you to quickly and effortlessly instrument the pulp chamber and root canal through the fracture site, no additional access needed.
The unique reciprocating motion of the file allows for safer canal preparation than rotary instruments.**
Saving the natural tooth just got easier
Extended lengths: 45mm, 70mm & 120mm
Designed specifically for the veterinary patient, this file allows you to quickly and effortlessly instrument the canal to working length. One key advantage is the ability to access through the fracture site with longer file length. This means retaining more tooth structure. Additional longer lengths coming soon—bear, lion, tiger.
Rectangular cross-section & small tapers
A rectangular cross-section gives a stable core for reduced separation rate; while small tapers promote easier access and smooth progression in the canal for a comfortable, successful treatment.
Reciprocating action
Reciprocating motion of the file allows for safer canal preparation than rotary instruments.** Saves time and money compared to manual processes as procedures can be performed more quickly.*
Heat-treated NiTi technology
Made with special heat-treated NiTi wire, these files provide increased flexibility and better conformity to the canal anatomy.*
Endodontic shaping and scouting procedure
Step 1: Endodontic SCOUTING with manual NiTi files
Measuring your working length safer and faster
• Niti alloy is stiff enough to pass calcifications, yet flexible enough to follow curved canals*
• Adapted K-file design with flute length close to the shaft to bring the weak point out of the canal*
• Reduced risk of lesions compared to a standard K-file*
Step 2: Endodontic SHAPING with NiTi reciprocating files
• Flexibility and heat-treated NiTi technology - retain tooth structure by accessing through the fracture site*
• Designed with flute length close to the shaft to bring the weak point out of the canal*
• Recommended for use with cordless Dentsply Sirona Motors in WaveOne® Gold Reciprocating settings
• Reciprocating motion of the file allows for safer canal preparation than rotary instruments.**
• Saves time and money compared to manual processes as procedures can be performed more quickly.
* Internal results, tested in 3D printed and extracted teeth; compared to manual files.

Case Studies
Saving the teeth of animals is essential for basic needs such as eating but also for self-defense, and root canal treatments can prevent potentially life-threatening infections. Read more about the treatments being provided to animals using the latest technologies in endodontics.
