ABSTRACT:
An endodontic file assembly includes a noncutting file guide along which a flexible file may run. The guide is first inserted into the root canal anchored at its tip and the file subsequently moved along the guide. Disproportionate forces between the file and inner and outer curvatures of the root canal caused by the natural resilience of the file are thereby reduced to provide for more uniform debridement of the inner walls of the root canal.
