Select the appropriate mode: Depending on the specific task you need to perform, choose the mode that best suits your requirements. Refer to the previous response for an overview of the different modes available.
Prepare the handpiece: Attach the appropriate endodontic handpiece to the motor. Ensure it is securely connected and properly aligned.
Set the speed and torque: Adjust the speed and torque settings according to the specific procedure and file system being used. These settings may vary based on the manufacturer's recommendations and the requirements of the case.
Perform canal measurement: If you need to measure the canal, select the EAL (Electronic Apex Locator) mode. The handpiece will not rotate in this mode. Follow the instructions for using the apex locator integrated into the endo motor or use a separate apex locator if required.
Rotary instrumentation: For rotary instrumentation using files like Waldent Wal-flex Gold Rotary Files -Refills or WOODPECKER W3-Pro, select the CW (clockwise) mode. Ensure the file is properly inserted into the canal and gently advance it while the handpiece rotates in a clockwise direction. Follow the recommended speed and torque settings for the specific file system.
Medicament placement: If you need to place medicaments like calcium hydroxide into the canal, select the CCW (counterclockwise) mode. The handpiece will rotate in a counterclockwise direction. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer or your endodontic protocol for accurate placement.
Reciprocating motion: For reciprocating motion using files like DENTSPLY WAVEONE or WOODPECKER W3-ONE, select the REC mode.
Adaptive Torque Reverse (ATR) function: If you want continuous forward rotation with alternating torque reversal, select the ATR mode. Adjust the angle and torque settings based on your requirements and the file system being used.
