Progressive taper technology: rationale and clinical technique for the new ProTaper universal system.

ProTaper Universal has produced a comprehensive yet simple solution for dentists in search of a single, versatile system that solves major endodontic problems from access to obturation. The key in high-performance endodontics is to produce the most and the best while doing the least. We know this as leverage. Breakthrough safety and simplicity features, combined with optimum efficiency, are at the heart of ProTaper Universal. The net intentional result of these newest endodontic technologies is that the practitioner can predictably and consistently produce exceptional patient outcomes (Figures 15 to 20).
