INSTRUCTION FOR USE INTRODUCTION

B&L's BL Tips are used for conventional or micro endodontic treatment using a microscope, locating the concealed orifices and removing the secondary and calcified dentin inside the cavity or pulp stones. Unlike the conventional diamond-coated endodontic tips, BL tips have integrated sharp abrasive micro-projections into its main body to ensure longevity of its abrasiveness and its biocompatibility.
