1.2. Proper Usage
The EndoPilot is an „all-in-one“ device concept for the mechanical root canal treatment.
It is exclusively determined for the usage in dentistry and may not be combined with other devices.
The EndoPilot was especially designed for the endodontic. The EndoSystem is intended for the following usage only:
1.2.1. Apexlocator
By the Apexlocator, the file position in the root canal is determined. This length determination can either be done
manually by using the file clamp (without motor) or parallel to the preparation of the root canal (integrated length
determination with motor).
1.2.2. Motor
Mechanical root canal preparation in combination with the preprogrammed nickel-titanium files with standard settings,
with optional integrated length determination. Basically, the actual parameters of the manufacturer files should be used.
1.2.3. DownPack-Handpiece with Heating Tip
Vertical thermoplastic condensation of Guttapercha in the root canal as well as cutting off of Guttapercha sticks.
1.2.4. BackFill Gun
Final thermoplastic filling of root canals with Guttapercha.
1.2.5. Ultrasonic Handpiece *
*CoPilot: The CoPilot was developed as supplementary module for the EndoPilot. It provides the ultrasonic function for
the execution of professional endodontic treatments.
Possible scope of application: Activation of a rinsing solution in the root canal, revisions, preparations of the canal with
ultrasonic instruments and removal of pins.
In addition, the device is equipped with a battery and a wireless foot switch.
1.3. General Precautions
Please read the operation manual precisely and completely! This is the only way to assure a maximum of security. Most
of the problems in operating and maintenance result from the insufficient attention being paid to basic safety precautions
and the fact that the possibility of accidents is not foreseen.
The user and his team have to be familiar with the device prior to the first usage.
Always use a cofferdam to prevent inhalation or swallowing of small parts!
If you have any questions or note any problems, please contact your supplier immediately.
Do not use the device if your patient or you are having an active implant (pacemaker, etc.)!
*CoPilot: Use safety goggles. Aerosols and germs may be released when using ultrasonic, therefore, please always use
a mask.
1.3.1. Contra-Indications
Using Guttapercha in combination with the Backfill function on patients with a known allergy to latex, silver or copper may
result in allergic reactions. These reactions may cause irritations of eyes, lips and the face. They may also cause
breathing problems. Patients should be instructed to immediately indicate any complaints occurring.

2.2. Base with Equipment Holder
The base offers a secure stand for the device and the operating tools. Thanks to the recessed grip in the upper part, the
stand can be transported single-handedly. The surfaces are easy to clean and skid-proof feet ensure optimal stability.
For the mounting of the base as well as the arrangements of the hand pieces, please read the mounting instructions
(delivered separately) for the base! The EndoPilot is connected to the stand by the tripod-screw.
*CoPilot: a double holder is mounted on the base for the ultrasonic handpiece and motor. If you expand the device with
the supplementary module CoPilot, the base has to be connected with the casing of the supplementary module. To do
so, remove (if present) the rubber feet of the base and screw the base on the CoPilot-casing (use the screws provided by
all means (23)).
Please note that the base has to be suitable for the mounting on the CoPilot-casing. (older bases have no opening for
the CoPilot-cable).
Attention! If you mount the whole device on to a table or cart, please make sure by all means that the selected screws
(3x Type M4 with 4 mm diameter) will not be screwed deeper than 5 mm into the ground plate of the CoPilot. In any
case, check the length in advance. The device may be damaged if the screwing is too deep. Tighten the screws not to

If you want to utilize your EndoPilot device with the supplementary module CoPilot, please read all sections in the
operating manual marked with „*“ and execute the steps as described in „Setup CoPilot“. In order to realize the
combination with the CoPilot module, the EndoPilot control unit must have the current software (Firmware v43 or higher)
(please see data in the menu „Setup“). If older firmware is installed on your EndoPilot control unit, the device first has to
be updated with current software.
For older models, a hardware update may be necessary.
2.4. Touch-Display
Prior to the first use, pull off the protection foil. All functions of the EndoPilot are activated by the comfortable Touch-
Display. The Touch-Display allows an intuitive and self-explanatory handling. The display is operated directly with a soft
finger touch. It is of course also possible wearing gloves. Alternatively, a small stick with a rounded plastic tip may also
be used. For protection from scratches and dirt, we recommend our crystal-clear display protection foil. It can be orders
as an accessory.
By no means may the display be operated with any metal objects (danger of breakage of glass)!
With the -button, you always return to the Start Menu. With the – button, you always return to the previous
menu.
2.5. Foot Switch
Functions of the foot switch (also foot switch single):
•Start/stop of the motor, the ultrasonic or heating of the DownPack
•Saving of the measured root length (s. chapter 3)
•Activate the EndoPilot from the sleep-mode
Functions of the wireless twin foot switch*:
•Pedal ”START” as described above
•Pedal “SELECT“ long pressing: select function (ultrasonic or motor)
short pressing: choosing the next file within the file sequence
In order to change the batteries (2 pieces 1,5V Type AAA), please open the battery compartment on the bottom plate of
the foot switch. Remove old batteries. Insert new batteries, paying attention to the correct pole direction. Push the battery
compartment back into its place in the casing. Put the ground plate back in and tighten the screws. Dispose of the old
batteries as per regulation. Do only use brand name batteries. Use only batteries of the same type.
Caution! Remove the batteries if you do not use the foot switch for a longer period of time.
To ensure an uninterrupted usage, spare batteries should always be available.
In case of need, the EndoPilot can be used with the help of the standard cable foot switch at any time (socket 15b)!
The connection of the power supply to the cable foot switch is possible, but not necessary as long as the battery is
charged,

EndoPilot
*related to the additional module “CoPilot” - 12 - 609 2201 v12 www.schlumbohm.de
2.6. Switch on, Standby, Switch off, Battery-Operation*
Connect the foot switch (3) with the power supply (2). Put the power supply into the socket (green LED in the power
supply has to light up). Now, the plug of the foot switch has to be plugged into the black connection (1b) of the EndoPilot.
If the device is not being used for some time, it automatically switches to the sleep-mode. The display light is turned off.
The device is turned on again by a short step on the foot switch or touch of the touch-display. The menu displayed as
last will be displayed again.
In order to avoid waste of electricity in the standby-mode, the EndoPilot should be disconnected if it will not be used for a
longer period.
*CoPilot:
When expanding the device with the „CoPilot“ module, the cable foot switch (3) of the EndoPilot basic device becomes
obsolete. For charging, the power supply has to be connected to the CoPilot with the help of the adapter cable (22). The
device can be switched on with the switch on the front of the device. If the charge drops to 10% of the capacity, the
CoPilot must be loaded. Otherwise, the unit turns off to avoid a total discharge of the battery and destruction.
Charge the battery periodically, the LED at the front of the device shows the charging level (red LED means charging is
necessary). If the battery is fully charged (constant green LED), the power supply may be plugged off.
The display switches off after several minutes of idling. By touching the display or by pressure on the wireless foot
switch, the display will switch on again. The supplementary module CoPilot will completely switch off after 10, 20 or 40
minutes of idling, it can only be re-activated by the switch at the front of the device. (The turn-off time can be selected via
the menu).
2.7. Preparation of the Root Canal – Motor and Contra-Angle
The EndoPilot contra-angle (5) is mounted on the motor (6). Use only contra-angles with 1:1 gear. The integrated Apex
length measurement (s. chapter 4.7.1.) via the contra-angle (during the preparation) does only work in connection with
the original-EndoPilot contra-angle.
If the contra-angle was changed or sterilized, it is necessary to run the calibration-process under the menu item
C a li b ra t i o n . Contra-angles may only be changed upon standstill of the motor (s. chapter 7).
Operating Remarks:
Before starting the device, please check if the motor is tightly snapped into the contra-angle.
Do not put any pressure on the push-button of the contra-angle because this may cause frictions
or mismeasurements!
Depending on the shape of the root canal, the Endo-files are bent and stressed during usage. The device reduces the
risk of file-breakage; however, this danger cannot be eliminated completely. Please ensure that you know the allowed
torques value of the instruments. Select the correct file. Never use deformed or damaged files!
The menu offers a variety of settings. The device permits to individually change all parameters like speed, torque and
operation mode, etc.. Parameters, which deviate from the manufacturers settings may lead to file
fractures and other damages. The company Schlumbohm®will not be liable for damages deriving from operations
deviating from the manufacturers settings.
To avoid file-breakage, please pay attention to the following points:
•Never use pressure to insert the file or to move it forward.
•Nickel-titanium files also break due to material fatigue. Only prepare as many canals as allowed by the
manufacturer of the files.
•In order to use NiTi-instruments effectively, experience and practice are indispensible.
•Practice on extracted teeth or Endo-plastic blocks.

2.8. Filling Technique - DownPack (D-Pack)
The DownPack handpiece (8) shares the blue connection with the motor (6).
(*CoPilot: if expanding the device by the „CoPilot“ module, the DownPack handpiece is always connected to the blue
notch (15c) of the CoPilot)
Do not put the DownPack handpiece down on electrically conducting surfaces, this could lead to induction of separate
source voltage.
Do not connect the DownPack handpiece at the same time with the Apex-cable. Put down the handpieces only on the
EndoPilot tripod or a temperature-resistant tray. Please keep in mind that the tip becomes very hot.
Operating the heating tip:
Open the tongs by two turns of the nut and insert the heating tip (7) (always insert the piston to mechanical stop). The tip
is fixed by screwing the nut tight.
Before using it, make sure that the heating tip is firmly fixed. A twisting tip can cause injuries.
If necessary, the multi-tool (12) may be used to loosen the nut.
Please pay attention to limited life expectancy of the heating tip which differs depending upon the frequency of use,
stress and deforming.
Check the heating tip before each use on its function and on its good mechanic condition. Use of excessive force may
lead to breaking and to injuries caused by slipping.
Never use heating tips from other manufacturers!
Do not use the DownPack handpiece simultaneously with the Apex cable.
Due to the continued induction of heat into the point of treatment, a warming up of the tooth and the surrounding tissue
may occur.
Provide for sufficient waiting times and act carefully. An exaggerated heating may change of the characteristics of the
filling material.
LED DownPack:
Red blinking: DownPack is operating, heating procedure is running (Usage s. chapter 5.1).
2.9. Filling Technique - BackFill (B-Fill)
Connect the BackFill Gun (11) with the delivered cable to the red connection (1a) at the device. The BackFill needle (9)
must be tightened with the key (12) to prevent leakage of gutta-percha at the screwing connection.
Form the needle between the forming rolls of the multi-tool. Always be careful that the needle is not being bent or torn
out of the screwing base. Avoid bending back and forth.
Please always use a Heat insulator (10), which should only be put on shortly before usage in order to avoid burns.
Press the release (11a) and pull the piston (11b) a bit backwards.
Then always insert only 1 pellet Guttapercha (13) at a time in the upper opening of the Gun. If the Gun is already heated,
do so quickly in order to avoid the inner parts to agglutinate.
By using the lever (11c), you push the Guttapercha into the heating chamber with the help of the piston (11b) and later
on through the needle. Make sure that the small screw and the seal at the end of the piston (11b) is in place and
tightened securely.
As long as the set temperature has not been reached and the Guttapercha is still rigid, do not press too hard as that may
damage the Gun.
If the heating times are longer, the outer parts of the Gun will also be warmed up. Check the temperature of the
protection cap (10).
Do not touch the patient’s lips or mucous membrane with the needle.
During the filling process, the needle should be able to rise with the filling material.
Do not put the BackFill Gun on electrically conducting surfaces; this could catch external voltage.
Do not use the BackFill Gun simultaneously with the Apex cable.
Put down the BackFill Gun only on the EndoPilot tripod or on a temperature-resistant tray.
Use of excessive force may break the needle and cause injuries. Please take care that the Gun is cleaned and prepared
before each use. Use a new needle each time as well as a new Guttapercha-pellet for each treatment. After the usage
and as long as the handpiece is still hot, press all remains of Guttapercha out of the Gun. Only use the original
Guttapercha-pellets.
For remarks on dismantling, please see preparation instructions (s.chap.16)!

3. Manual Root Length Measurement
In this menu, you can probe the canal manually, that means by a file lead by hand.
For this purpose, the lip clip (4c) as well as the file clamp (4b) are used.
The horizontal line determines the position in the root canal where the "Auto-stop"-function
is reached when using the mechanic preparation. The setting can be stored either
directly at the display by moving the line (short tip of the finger) or also comfortably
by pushing the foot switch.
With this function, it is, for example, possible to transfer an X-ray verified position
of a pilot instrument onto the screen.
The setting of the line is stored until the device is switched off.
If the device is switched on again, the line is re-set to a standard value.
Parallel to the graphic display, a value (here 34) is also shown, this is the length
of the line in the display, however NO indication of millimetres. This number is only for a
better orientation.
Do not put the measuring cables on electrically conducting surfaces, this could lead to
induction of separate source voltages.
ATTENTION: If the file gets in touch with the lip clip, this will cause a short-circuit.
With this short-circuit, you may test the function of the display and the Apexlocator.

3.1. Advice for an accurate Measurement
Put on the lip clip (4c) in the cheek pouch of the patient (the side which is opposite to the operating area).
Before you start the length measurement, the root canal should be rinsed with NaCl-solution and then be dried (for
example with a cotton-pellet), in order to avoid leakage current and, as a consequence, incorrect measurements.
It is recommended to wear protective gloves during the measurement in order to isolate the measuring current.
For the manual measurement, the file has to be connected with the file clamp below the shaft and shall be inserted
slowly into the root canal.
Please keep in mind that, principally, mismeasurements may occur during the electronic canal measurement caused by
variable disturbances (conductive fillings, cracks in the tooth, etc.)
The results should always be compared with an x-ray photo.

This offers the advantage of immediate access to the file systems used most of the times and saves the repeated
selection from the whole assortment of file systems.
The favoured file system is selected by pressing the file symbol .
Via the symbol X the selection can be deleted easily and can then be selected anew.
This menu does not have to be used.
If you do not want to select any favorites, choose the menu item „all file systems“ (Chapter 4.2)
Here, a system can be chosen directly from the alphabetical list of file systems.

4.2. Selection of a file system
If you have selected the menu item „all file systems, the menu opens with all available file systems.
First, you will get to page 1, additional file systems follow on the next pages.
By a short touch on the desired file (s. right e.g. ProTaper , resp. ProFile ), you will get to
the respective file system.
Within the selected file system, a touch of the headline with the system name will lead back to
the menu favorites.
With the key, you will get back to the Start Menu.
4.3. MyFile System
The device offers a special function with the M y F i l e Sy s t e m .
With the MyFile-system, individual file sequences, independent of the manufacturer, can be
defined. To do so, files will be selected from the extensive file library and then be stored one
after the other (Hybrid-technique).
The system can be accessed in the menu „favorites“ or from every file menu oft the file
systems. In the MyFile system, 5 different sequences with each 10 files can be stored
individually.
By touching M y F i l e Sy s t e m in the menu „favorites“ (see illustration Chapter 4), you can
choose from the following:
My Sequence 1 to My Sequence 5
With these namings, the own sequences can be differentiated easily.
In each of these areas, up to 10 files can be stored.
In the menu to the right, for example, the menu item „My Sequence 1“ was selected.
By touching the file symbol on the right, the alphabetical overview oft the file systems opens.
Again by touching, the desired system will be selected, then the file can be selected (in this
illustration, the file ProTaper F2 has been selected). Behind each entry, a X appears on the
right. Via this field, the selection can be deleted easily.
In one sequence, the same file may also be used several times. This may be reasonable if the
same file shall be used with different settings.
By touching on the desired file, in this case “PT F2 25/08”, the user reaches the file menu
“preparation” (Chapter 4.5). In this menu, the EndoMotor can be started by using the foot
switch.
In the menu preparation 4.5, the file parameters (Chapter 4.6) can be set freely via the key
F . D a t a . The data will be stored in the MyFile-System. The pre-programmed file data (Data
from the file manufacturer) in the basic file system under a l l fi l e s ys t e m s .

The speed- and torque-values may be changed after selecting R P M or N c m by the + and - -keys which are then
displayed. The individual key RPM Reset or Nc m R e s e t between the . + and - -key resets the values to the
factory settings (according to the recommendation of the file manufacturer).
In the menu function R e s e t (s. chap.9), all values of the files can be reset to the factory settings at once.
Please note:
Keep in mind that the file manufacturers provide themselves the right to change and adjust the instrument parameters.
The data stored in this device were determined with utmost care according to manufacturer's recommendations. Future
changes may be individually adjusted by the user or by running an update.
4.6.1. Reciprocal Function
General:
With the reciprocal technique which was already known in the 80’s as Balanced-Force-technique, an endo-instrument is
set into a cyclic right-left-movement. The instrument is pulled rhythmically from the canal by the user in order to remove
chips. The advantage of this technique is the significant time-saving.
Often, less files than usual are used for the preparation. In practice, NiTi-instruments, originally only intended for fully-
rotating operation as well as special instruments especially determined for the reciprocal operation are currently being
used.
Other than the known, rigid drive mechanisms, the EndoPilot offers a free selection of the parameters. The movement
can be adjusted by the user according to the canal and the instrument. As there are currently no data published by the
file manufacturers, it is necessary that the user determines the parameters suitable for him and his file system. In
concrete, this can be done for testing purposes by preparing training blocks. The pre-selected values should in any case
be adjusted.
It has to be pointed out that experience and training are prerequisites for this technique.
The user should obtain experiences on extracted teeth. It has to be assumed that the use of different file systems will
lead to different results. In order to avoid a deforming of the file, the same values should always be used for left and right
rotation. The pause offers an intermittent operation and reduces the impulse load on the file.
