Abstract

An endodontic instrument for use in root canal therapy which comprises an inner core of a metal having a specific flexibility, and at least one outer shell of a metal having a different flexibility. By selecting the ratio of the two metals, the instrument may be designed to have a predetermined desired flexibility which is sufficient to assure proper operation of the instrument, yet not so stiff as to risk damage to the tooth canal. A kit which is composed of several such instruments of increasing diameter is also disclosed, and with the instruments being designed to be used sequentially in root canal therapy, and wherein all of the instruments possess substantially the same degree of flexibility. The instruments can thus be used with predictable and consistent results.
