Yes! All DP-RCM apex Locators can be retrofitted with DP-TR3 (OTR). You will have the full range of functions without any limitations.

Older versions of DP contra angles can’t be retrofitted with an internal file electrode. However, you can use the new DP contra head with integrated file electrode with the motor that you already have.

No. You would have to order a DentaPort ZX Set OTR.
DentaPort ZX Set order no. 6912.

No.
But please remember that DentaPort combines an apex locator, endomotor and polymerization lamp in one device. Moreover, you don’t need an additional foot switch for it and the device is mains independent.

The DentaPort motor can be controlled manually by a shortcut button combination. A foot switch would be even more comfortable. The following types of foot switches are available. Please state the article number in your order. 

Foot switch with 1.4 m cable (Order no. 6905-008)
Foot switch with 2.4 m cable (Order no. 6905-018)

We offer cables in two lengths:

Foot switch with 1.4 m cable (Order no. 6905-008)
Foot switch with 2.4 m cable (Order no. 6905-018)

• Only the contra angle
• File clamps
• Mucosal electrodes

• File clamps
• Mucosal electrodes

DentaPort is battery-operated and, therefore, mains independent. All functions are blocked when the charging cable is connected. This means that you can’t use it to treat a patient while the device is connected to the mains supply. Consequently, the tests (liable to charges) stipulated according to BGV A3 do not have to be carried out.

When used frequently, an intact battery should have enough capacity for at least one up to several working days. It takes about 60 minutes to recharge completely. Should the battery’s capacity have dropped significantly, it can be replaced without any tools.

DentaPort has 3 memory spaces. This is perfectly sufficient for several reasons: The torque values stated by the manufacturers of files usually are maximum values that apply for new files. Yet, the file already is „stressed“ after just a few rotations in the root canal and, consequently, worn up to a certain degree. Accordingly, the maximum applicable torque value is that much lower. This questions the relevance of stipulating strict values.
If you have more memory spaces, you will have to make more adjustments on the device during the treatment (stress, hygiene). OTR stays far below any maximum values and, in addition, it only requires a maximum of 3 files. The torque values primarily depend on the method and not so much on the files.

DentaPort has 3 memory spaces.

The built-in electrode also is subject to wear and should be replaced from time to time. In order to ensure that the electrode is always in perfect working order, it should be replaced after about 100 operating hours (rotation time). A countdown timer is integrated in DentaPort and emits an acoustic signal when it’s time to replace the electrode

The EndoWave OTR sequence has proven to be very well suited. As a rule, however, DentaPort is compatible with all files having the following properties:

• Made of nickel-titanium
• Right-hand cutting
• RA shaft
• Speed between 100-800 rpm

This covers almost all conventional files for rotary preparation. However, files for reciprocating preparation cannot be used, because they are left-hand cutting and, therefore, have to be driven counter-clockwise.

Please contact a specialized dental retailer.

The torque values that can be set are many times lower for OTR than those needed for the conventional Auto Torque Reverse. Consequently, any friction losses of the gear mechanism in the contra angle or motor hardly matter in connection with Auto Torque Reverse, but are significant with OTR.
