Laser-Related Abbreviations
"Da die Glasfaser, die das Laserlicht an den Zielort leitet, spröde ist, besteht die Gefahr des Faserabbruches. Eine laserendodontische Maßnahme (Kanaldekontamination) setzt deshalb ein streng einzuhaltendes Aufbereitungsprocedere nach der ***IAF-MAF- und FF-Technik*** voraus. Zähne mit radiologisch nachgewiesener abnormer Morphologie sind deshalb für die Laserendodontie kontraindiziert."
From a text about the use of lasers in dentistry. I haven't got the faintest idea what "IAF-MAF- und FF-Technik" means. Has anyone here heard of these abbreviations? TIA for any light you can shed on them.

sorry correction
IAF (Initial apikale Feile)= initial apical file
MAF (Master Apikale Feile)´= master apical file
FF (Feine Feile = file file
my appologies for the spelling error above.

I think this technique might have something to do with the order the files are applied: initial - master - fine. But I was unable to find any confirmation of this theory.

Comment: "It just so happens that right near the end of my text, there were a couple of sentences that confirmed your guess as correct. But the references were quite impressive and convincing anyway. So well done Ariane, and thanks - 4 points well deserved!"
