- A size #20 (yellow) configuration, they are endodontic filling devices used to seal a patient’s root canal system following cleaning and shaping
Uses
- 3D Canal Obturation:
- Permanently fills, seals, and blocks the root canal system down to the apex after endodontic therapy
- Universal Taper Adaptability:
- Designed to fill any root canal shaped with either constant or variable tapered file systems ranging from .04 to .10 tapers
- Size Verification:
- The included size verifier is used to test the canal's apical fit before inserting the heated, coated carrier
Features
- Gutta-Percha Core Carrier (GPC):
- Employs a cross-linked/vulcanized compounding gutta-percha core instead of a traditional plastic core carrier
- Alpha-Phase Gutta-Percha Coating:
- Coated in low-viscosity, alpha-phase gutta-percha that achieves excellent flowability when heated
- Integrated Calibration Rings:
- Clearly marked depth rings along the handle to help the clinician precisely measure and set the correct working length
- Universal Oven Compatibility:
- Designed to safely heat at identical settings within the industry’s most popular dental obturator heaters
- High Radiopacity:
- Engineered with high x-ray density to ensure distinct contrast and visibility on post-operative dental radiographs
Benefits
- Simpler Post Space Preparation:
- Unlike rigid plastic carriers, the cross-linked gutta-percha core drills out easily, making the creation of post spaces or endodontic retreatments fast and smooth
- Dense, Hermetic Seal:
- Heated alpha-phase gutta-percha expands and flows smoothly into lateral canals, apical deltas, and irregularities for a reliable 3D fill
- Clean & Accurate Placement:
- The outer coating formulation prevents binding, ensuring easier clinical cleanup and high placement precision
- Seamless Workflow Integration:
- Conforms to standardized ISO sizing, enabling doctors to use their current ovens and techniques without retraining
