- Compatible with the ZEPF Endodontics Set handle system for a streamlined, modular workflow

Clinical Use
These inserts are suited for canal orifice location, debris removal, caries excavation, and fine exploratory work during root canal treatment. Their micro-angled designs (45° and 90°) provide controlled access to curved and narrow canal systems, while excavator tips assist in the careful removal of soft dentin and pulpal debris.
Care and Reconditioning
Clean, disinfect and sterilize the inserts between patients and check the fine tips for bending or wear. Our Dental Instrument Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the general workflow for Zepf hand instruments and inserts.
