Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What is the Elements Connect Contra Angle used for?
It is used for root canal shaping, working length measurement (when paired with Apex Connect), and removal of gutta-percha points.
Is the contra angle compatible with all endodontic file systems?
Yes, it supports adaptive, reciprocation, and rotary motions, making it suitable for most leading file systems.
Can I use the contra angle with an apex locator?
Yes, when connected to Apex Connect, it provides real-time working length measurement and feedback.
How do I clean and sterilise the contra angle?
The contra angle can be detached from the motor handpiece for thorough cleaning, disinfection, lubrication, and sterilisation.
How do I attach the contra angle to the motor handpiece?
With the motor powered off, insert the pin of the contra angle connector into the groove of the motor handpiece connector and push until it clicks. The head rotates 360° for optimal positioning.
Are there any contraindications?
Not suitable for patients with pacemakers, nerve regulators, or sensitivities to stainless steel, nickel, or titanium.
What should I consider when selecting file length?
The deep set insert in the contra angle head reduces the total working length of the file by 2mm, so a longer file may be required.
