- A thermal obturator with a gutta-percha carrier designed for the permanent three-dimensional filling of root canals, specifically identifies it as an ISO Size #30 (Blue) dental instrument
Uses
- Root Canal Obturation:
- Used to seal and fill the entire root canal system, including irregular anatomy like lateral canals and apical deltas, after mechanical cleaning and shaping
- Universal System Compatibility:
- Compatible with any canal shaped with constant or variable tapers ranging from .04 to .10
Features
- Gutta-Percha Carrier:
- Unlike traditional plastic-core obturators, the GOB series uses a vulcanized gutta-percha core, which provides better structural integrity while remaining fully retrievable
- Alpha-Phase Gutta-Percha Coating:
- Features a heated alpha-phase gutta-percha that flows easily into microtubules when warmed in a standard Dental Obturator Oven
- Radiopacity:
- Highly radiopaque material ensures clear visibility on dental X-rays for post-procedure verification
- Calibration Markings:
- Includes integrated calibration rings and rubber stops to help clinicians accurately set and maintain the specific working length during insertion
Benefits
- Simplified Post Space Preparation:
- Since the entire obturator—including the carrier—is made of gutta-percha, it is much easier to drill through for post placement compared to plastic carriers
- Ease of Retreatment:
- The gutta-percha carrier allows for easier removal if endodontic retreatment becomes necessary
- Precise Sizing:
- Each pack includes a size verifier (e.g., #30 verifier for GOB-30), which clinicians use prior to obturation to ensure a passive fit and adequate space for the flowable material
- Improved Placement Accuracy:
- The coating is specifically designed to prevent binding and allow for easier cleanup after the procedure
