In curved canals ledging easily occurs with even small reamer sizes if instruments are not pre-curved. Reamers are excellent instruments in straight canals but poorly adaptable to curved canals .
In technique the file is placed to working length and rotated clockwise 90 degrees with light pressure to engage dentin. The file is then while apical pressure is maintained to cut and enlarge the canal. Debris is removed with a final clockwise rotation that loads the flutes with loosened debris.
Each instrument should be checked for symmetry by rotating it against an even background before introducing it into the canal .
B. K-FILE
K-file: Design & Structure
Manufactured from steel wire that is twisted to give the typical shape of a K-file. between the long-axis and the cutting blade is greater than in a reamer, and therefore preparation by a K-file is effective both in rotary and filing motion.
K-files are produced in sizes 06 - 140, all with a taper of 0.02. K-file design is identified by the square symbol on the handle.

greater resistance.
Compared to reamers, the use of continuous rotation is limited because of the screwing effect typical of Kfiles.
and filing instead of continuous rotation should be used with sizes 06 - 15 to minimize fracture risk. Each instrument should be checked for symmetry by rotating it against an even background before introducing it into the canal.
E. HEDSTR0EM FILE
Hedstroem File: Design & Structure Hedstroem files are manufactured from round steel wire by grinding. The angle between the long-axis and the cutting blade is close to right angle, which is why preparation by Hedstroem files is effective only when using a filing motion (up and down movement).

H45-H80
H90-H140
H-files must always fit loosely in the canal to avoid risk for fracture. This is easily obtained by selecting a smaller H-file after each rotating instrument. Small sizes up to #25 can be used down into full preparation length while bigger sizes are often used 1 - 3 mm short.
