The ready to use BT-Race sequence is sterile-packed and single-use. The sequence, with 3 files, is suitable for most types of canals and allows to reach a final apical size of ISO 35/.04*
With the appearance of nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy, the domain of endodontic instrument production discovered a material which is flexible, extremely elastic, resistant and bio-compatible. Working in continuous rotation became possible, through which a simplicity of use and incomparable time savings were achieved.
Most conventional reaming instruments (in stainless steel) are designed like screws, having one or more cutting helixes. The file design was not adapted to the new alloy, therefore, when used in continuous rotation, one main inconvenience appeared: the increased risk of screwing-in and blocking, which inevitably ends up in the instrument fracturing.
FKG Dentaire went a step ahead and developed a totally new file design to
take advantage of the NiTi characteristics and to overcome the limits which
are imposed by continuous rotation: the Race was born. The Race system is the simple and advanced answer for endodontic treatments with a complete family of shaping and retreatment files with exclusive advantages and features. Race instruments can be used in ad-hoc sequences according to the practitioner’s needs and are also available in specific sequences. They come in both sterile and non-sterile packs.
