Quantec: Recommended use

Quantec is used in a rotating contra-angle with a high torque and a constant speed of 250 rpm, while employing light pressure. Each instrument is used for 5 to 10 seconds in a pecking motion: push forward - draw back - push forward etc. If the instrument does not proceed in the canal, pressure must not be increased but a smaller instrument must be tried.

Preparation is started in the coronal and middle parts of the canal that are flared with instruments #25/12, #25/10, #25/08 and #25/06. This is followed by a sequential use of the instruments from 4 (02/25) to 9 or 10 up to the preparation length, when possible with normal pressure. In larger canals, the preparation may be continued with sizes 50 - 60.

In large canals that are easily prepared the number of instruments may be reduced as follows:
1, 4, 9, 10.
However, this requires extensive experience in the use of these instruments. Always refer to the manufacturer's latest instructions and recommendations on the correct use of the instruments.
