Reamers and files are by far the most widely used root canal instruments. Traditionally, this group of instruments has been made from stainless steel and comprises two basic designs, the K-type instruments and the Hedstrom file. The difference between files and reamers is that the file is usually made from a rectangular blank, whereas the reamer has a triangular cross-section. Because of its fewer flutes and triangular cross-section, the Reamer is a much more flexible instrument than the File.

Files are used to enlarge the canal with a longitudinal filing and a rotational cutting action, or rather by a combination of the two. The reamer may be used in an identical fashion, but is most effective as a rotary cutting instrument.
