RE #118 : Marque blanche en endodontie : ce que l'étiquette vous dit (et ce qu'elle cache)

Have you ever ordered a NiTi rotary instrument and noticed that an unknown product was advertised at a much lower price than a major brand, with an almost identical geometry? This isn't a coincidence—it's a private label product. It's a topic no one in the dental field addresses directly, yet it directly impacts your purchasing decisions and daily clinical practice. In this Expert Answer, Professor Stéphane Simon provides a frank and well-researched explanation: — What a private label product actually is in endodontics (rotary instruments, motors, apex locators, obturation systems) — How to identify it on the packaging, thanks to the labeling requirements imposed by the European MDR regulation (EU 2017/745) — What this means clinically: performance on simple vs. complex cases, level of technological innovation, risk of instrument breakage — How to make an informed choice, depending on your type of practice and your clinical cases A cheaper instrument isn't necessarily a bad instrument. But choosing without knowledge means taking a clinical risk you haven't assessed. 📌 Additional episodes to watch: → Expert Answer #93 — NiTi Alloys: Gold, Blue, Pink: https://studio.youtube.com/video/Z3yy... → Expert Answer #116 — How to Choose Your Instrumental Sequence:    • #116 - Instruments endodontiques : comment...   🎓 Endo Academy offers continuing education in endodontics for general practitioners and specialists: from the Endodontics Cycle to the DUEA (University Diploma in Advanced Endodontics), co-developed with the University of Genoa. 👉 Discover our courses: https://www.endo-academie.fr
