Reamers

Made by Charles B. Schwed Co., LLC

$10.69 – $12.24

Schwed Reamers have their cutting edge along the extreme edge of their flutes. This instrument is used to shave dentine from the canal wall. The spiral flutes collect the dentinal shavings and carry them away from the apex. Reamers are used by rotating the instrument in a clockwise direction during insertion. They must be used in strict sequential order. If the reamer binds, it should be backed-off and reinserted until it can rotate freely and easily. Any distortion of the flute pattern is an indication to discard that instrument. Reamers have no cutting effect as they are withdrawn from the canal.
