The reciprocating movement allows root canals to be prepared with one single instrument.
RECIPROC® instruments have been specifically designed for use in reciprocation. RECIPROC instruments have a non-cutting tip.
RECIPROC is produced with M-Wire® nickeltitanium. Increased cyclic fatigue resistance is achieved through the use of this alloy produced in an innovative thermal-treatment process. M-Wire has both greater resistance to cyclic fatigue and greater flexibility than traditional nickel-titanium.
–Sterile
–Three different sizes for narrow, medium and wide canals.

Selecting the Correct RECIPROC Instrument
In most cases, the R25 will be suitable in size for the root canal treatment. Consult the pre-operative radiograph to see if the canal is likely to be considered as narrow, medium or wide:
— If the canal is partially or completely invisible on the radiograph: The canal is considered narrow; use an R25.
— If the canal is completely visible on the radiograph: Take an ISO size 30 hand instrument; insert it passively into the canal. If it reaches working length, the canal is considered large; use the R50.
— If an ISO size 30 hand instrument does not go passively to working length, try an ISO size 20 hand instrument. If this goes passively to working length, the canal is considered medium; use the R40.
— If an ISO size 20 hand instrument does not go passively to working length, use the R25.
Root canals prepared with RECIPROC instruments have a shape suitable for all obturation techniques.
