Bone File Clinical Tips
Use the bone file in pull stroke, because the teeth of the file are arranged in such a fashion to remove bone only in this direction.
Avoid cross filling or pushing the bone file, because this result is burnishing and crushing of bone.
Carefully cleanse the instrument by whipping the grooved ends with a sponge. By failure to do this, dust or chips may easily remain in the wound.
