- A thermal obturator featuring a gutta-percha carrier used for permanent root canal sealing, corresponding to ISO Size #40 (Black)
Uses
- Total Canal Obturation:
- Used to achieve a hermetic, three-dimensional seal of the root canal system following cleaning and shaping
- Universal Taper Support:
- Ideal for canals shaped with any constant or variable tapered file system (from .04 to .10 taper)
Features
- Gutta-Percha Core:
- Features a cross-linked (vulcanized) gutta-percha carrier. This provides the necessary rigidity for placement without the complications of a rigid plastic core
- Alpha-Phase Coating:
- The carrier is coated in alpha-phase gutta-percha, which becomes flowable when heated to fill lateral canals and microscopic irregularities
- Size #40 Verifier:
- Each package includes a matching size verifier to confirm the apical fit and ensure there is enough space for the gutta-percha to flow
- Radiopaque Material:
- High radiopacity ensures that the quality and depth of the fill are easily visible on dental X-rays
Benefits
- Superior Retreatment & Post Prep:
- Since the entire device (including the carrier) is gutta-percha, it can be easily removed or drilled through if the patient requires a post or future endodontic retreatment
- Accurate Depth Control:
- Integrated calibration rings and a rubber stopper allow the clinician to precisely match the established working length
- Seamless Integration:
- Works with most standard gutta-percha heating ovens, making it a "drop-in" replacement for other carrier-based systems
- Reduced Stress on Tooth:
- The flowable nature of the heated gutta-percha requires less condensation force than cold lateral techniques, reducing the risk of root fractures
