- An assorted pack of radiopaque gutta-percha points with a .04 taper, containing sizes from #15 to #40 designed to provide clinicians with a range of sizes in a single box for various root canal shapes
Uses
- Root Canal Obturation:
- Serves as a permanent filling material to create a three-dimensional, fluid-tight seal of the root canal system
- Preventing Reinfection:
- Inhibits bacterial entry and fluid leakage through the roots after the canal has been shaped and cleaned
- Adaptable Filling:
- Suitable for both standard obturation techniques and thermoplastic (heated) methods where the material is pressed into the canal
Features
- .04 Taper & Assorted Sizing:
- Specifically formatted with a .04 taper and includes a range of tip sizes from #15 to #40
- Hand-Rolled Precision:
- Meticulously hand-rolled to ensure consistent quality, durability, and a smooth surface for easy insertion
- High Radiopacity:
- Contains materials that ensure clear visibility on radiographs for post-treatment verification
- Thermoplastic Composition:
- Softens upon heating to press into and fill irregular spaces within the tooth canals
- Standard Packaging:
- Sold in packs of 60 points per box
Benefits
- Enhanced Clinical Accuracy:
- The precise .04 taper ensures a more accurate fit than standard .02 taper points in modern shaped canals, reducing voids
- Biocompatibility:
- Features low toxicity and is non-reactive with body fluids, ensuring it is well-tolerated by periapical tissues
- Time Efficiency:
- Designed for fast manipulation and easy filling, which can help streamline endodontic procedures
- Dimensional Stability:
- Minimal expansion or shrinkage during phase transformations helps maintain a long-term hermetic seal
- Ideal Handling:
- Offers a balanced combination of stiffness for easy navigation and flexibility to follow curved anatomy
