Neoprobe – First instrument to explore the canal

• Neoprobe’s minimal taper at 1% helps to perform intermediate steps in calcified or curved canal
• ISO Sizes : 012
• Square cross-section
• Length : 21, 25 mm
• Packaging : x 6
• Length : 21 & 25 mm
• Ability to detect curvatures during initial probing
• Provides excellent tactile sensation
• Aids in negotiating blocks and calcifications due to its flexibility
• Low potential for file separation

When a #12 1% file is removed from the canal, the file has an impression of the canal; thereby guiding the operator to the curvatures present in the canal (not possible with NiTi hand files)

Neoprobe Usage protocol:
In severely narrow canals start with watch winding motion to remove initial dentin, followed by vertical in and out motion with 1 mm amplitude.
Gradually increase the amplitude as dentin wall wears away and file advances apically.
