Edge File VS Wave One (전동파일 비교) : Reciprocating file

EdgeFile®

The file packaging. The files come in packs of three. They do not do assortment packs. You will have to purchase the various sizes you plan to use.

The Edge files have a very interesting metallurgy and are dark in color unlike any file that I’ve used before (endosequence and W1).

The Edge file can be bent with light pressure. But don’t mistake the flexibility with fragility. I used an Edge on an extracted premolar and did stupid movements and it didn’t break.

The metallurgy allows for flexibility once bent. However, it is not like bending stainless steel handfiles. This feature is nice for getting into those hard to reach canal orifices. I would imagine it’d be good for ninja accesses.

WaveOne®

This is the W1 file. The nice thing about it is that the pre-measured increments can be seen pretty easily. The Edge files also have these measurements as well but is harder to see.

As you can see, the W1 file has quite a bit of memory. They are very stiff compared to the Edge files.
