ProFile: Design & Structure

Profile instruments are prepared from round nickel-titan wire by grinding. Cross-section of the instruments shows a U-file structure with radial lands that inhibit screwing effect in dentin. Profile instruments have a bat-tip (= inactive tip) that guides the instrument in the canal and reduces the risk of ledge formation.
