0.5mm Dovgan Plugger (EJD05)

• A precision endodontic hand instrument used for the vertical condensation of thermosoftenized gutta-percha during root canal obturation

Uses

• Coronal and Mid-Root Compaction:

• Used to apply heavy vertical forces to compact gutta-percha or bioceramic materials in the upper and middle thirds of straight root canals

• Cold Lateral Condensation Backfilling:

• Acts as a rigid accessory plugger to firmly pack gutta-percha cones horizontally and vertically against the canal walls

• High-Pressure Carrier Backfilling:

• Ideal for compressing bulk injections of thermoplasticized gutta-percha or dense bioceramic sealing pastes into the root canal orifice without the tool flexing or yielding

• MTA/Bioceramic Material Adaptation:

• Perfect for condensing Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) into perforation repairs or wide root apexifications where maximum compaction pressure is required

Features

• Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel:

• Constructed from premium, rigid stainless steel that resists bending and maximizes force transmission from the handle to the tip

• Calibrated 0.5mm Flat Tip:

• Provides a micro-diameter profile suitable for narrow canal dimensions while offering a perfectly flat surface for uniform material compression

• Tapered Instrument Profile:

• Typically follows a precise endodontic taper (often matching standard .02 or .04 preparation guidelines) to adapt smoothly to the canal walls

• Rigid Dual-Ended Handling:

• Often features a double-ended design, matching the 0.5mm tip with a slightly larger stainless steel end (like a 0.65mm tip) to allow quick progression through the backfilling stages
