[0002] A root canal file is an important tool used in dental treatment for root canal treatment (also known as endodontic treatment). Root canal treatment is mainly aimed at the infection or inflammation inside the tooth, usually caused by tooth decay, tooth cracks or other damage to the dental pulp (the part inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). The goal of root canal treatment is to remove the infected dental pulp tissue, clean and shape the root canal system, and then tightly fill it to prevent reinfection.

[0003] During the root canal expansion process, different types of files are selected for operation, and each time the vernier needs to be fixed at this position to guide clinical operation.
