FKG Dentaire.

FKG Dentaire's company page says the business has existed since 1931 in the Swiss microtechnology region and was renamed FKG Dentaire by Jean-Claude Rouiller in 1994. The footer address is FKG Dentaire Sarl, Le Cret-du-Locle 4, 2322 Le Cret-du-Locle, Switzerland, phone +41 32 924 22 44. The same page says courses run in La Chaux-de-Fonds and in Oslo.

The product sequence is dated. RaCe arrived in 1997. TotalFill bioceramics and the first Rooter motor arrived in 2013. The Finisher and XP-endo Shaper arrived in 2015 and 2016. RACE EVO and the reciprocating R-Motion arrived in 2020. The Rooter X3000 arrived in 2021. XP-endo Rise arrived in 2022. A practice that learned on RaCe in the 2000s is not holding the same file as a practice that adopted Rise.

The company page says a Henry Schein acquisition opens a new period, and a February 2026 job posting calls FKG Dentaire Sarl a Henry Schein company. Use that as the ownership description FKG is publishing. It does not mean a Schein consumable account number is the FKG file warranty. Ask which entity invoices the files and which entity replaces a separated instrument.

Education is part of the offer. FKG points to training facilities rather than a dealer demo only. The clinical claims printed beside XP-endo Rise, including debris-removal percentages, are labeled as internal laboratory results or tied to papers the page cites. This profile does not repeat those percentages as Dental Country findings. Read the paper if the number will decide the purchase.

FKG suits an endodontist or a general dentist who shapes canals with a dedicated NiTi system and is willing to match the motor. XP-endo Rise is described for treatment and retreatment. RACE EVO and R-Motion are shaping files with different motions. The rotary file guide compares systems. The endodontic motor guide is the handpiece that turns them.

TotalFill is the bioceramic sealer and repair material from 2013. It belongs in the obturation drawer, not in the file cassette. A practice that does not obturate the same day still needs to know which sealer the referral expects.

A lab milling a post is not the FKG buyer unless the dentist asked for a file-matched post the company does not describe on the pages used here. Stay with the file, the motor, and the sealer.

SS White sells DCTaper NiTi files and EndoGuide burs. Brasseler USA sells EndoSequence files and BC Sealer. FKG's difference, in its own words, is the expandable XP-endo approach versus a file the canal is shaped to fit. That is a design claim. It is not permission to mix an XP-endo shaper with another company's recommended torque.

R-Motion reciprocates. RACE EVO is in the rotary RaCe family. The motor presets are not interchangeable between those two motions. Rooter X3000 is FKG's motor. Another motor can run the files only if the manufacturer settings are available and you accept the warranty conditions.

Henry Schein ownership puts FKG next to a distributor, not next to a chair company. Henry Schein Dental is the distributor profile. File technique still comes from FKG's instructions.

Pick one system for the doctors who share a cassette. Rise, RACE EVO, and R-Motion in the same setup multiply the settings people can get wrong. Write the speed and torque from the current instructions into the motor, and do not copy a number from a competitor's card.

Training seats are in La Chaux-de-Fonds and Oslo according to the company page. Ask whether a U.S. course exists before you budget travel. Warranty and single-use versus multi-use rules are on the file insert. The Rise page discusses resistance and flexibility with internal data. Sterilization reuse is a separate instruction.

Order sealers and files on separate lines. TotalFill does not shape the canal. If the Schein invoice and the FKG box disagree about who supports a defect, resolve that before the first molar.
