Abstract: The present invention relates to an endodontic instrument comprising a working segment (11) having a working section (110) and terminating in a distal portion (12) having a guiding and cutting function. The distal portion comprises a rounded guide head (13) and an angular cutting section (14). The angular cutting section comprises a distal zone (16) adjacent to the guide head and a proximal zone (17) between the distal zone and the working segment. The angular cutting section (14) further comprises cutting edges (15) extending over the full length of the proximal and distal zones. The distal zone comprises a distal section (160) with constant geometry and the proximal zone comprises a proximal section (170) the geometry of which varies between the distal section and the working section (110).

Abstract: An instrument (10) having a working section (11) that terminates in an end zone (12) having a pointed tip. The end zone (12) has, on the one hand, a conical guiding section (13) which ends in a tip. This guiding section (13) has a tip angle of between 10° and 60° and, on the other hand, an angular cutting section (14) adjacent to the conical guiding section (13) which has three cutting edges (15). The angular cutting section (14) extends over a certain length and is located intermediate between the conical guiding section (13) and the working section (11). The angular cutting section (14) has a cross-section that progressively increases from the base of the conical guiding section (13) over at least a portion of its length.
