The invention relates to an endodontic file set for
root canal preparation comprising at least two files (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8) each with a tool (10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8) extending in a longitudinal direction (12) and a shaft (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8) receiving the tool and formed for inserting the file into a receptacle of a dental instrument. - wherein all tools of the file set have a conical working part (15) of any type with at least one
cutting edge (21) and a different determining
diameter (d3), - wherein the determining
diameter of the tools is in a range of 0.06 to 0.564 mm and - wherein the amount of a difference in actual
bending stiffness and / or the amount of a difference in actual
torsional strength between at least individual tools of the file set is less than the amount of a difference in maximum
bending stiffness and / or minimum
torsional strength for these tools, as determined from the standard specifications, wherein, to adjust the actual
bending stiffness and / or the actual torsional stiffness of each tool, its material, its heat treatment during manufacture and / or its cross-section are adapted with respect to a cross-sectional shape and / or cross-sectional area, and wherein the tools of the file set differ with respect to at least two of these three adjustment parameters.
