- Radiopaque obturating materials used in the final stage of root canal therapy to permanently fill and seal cleaned and shaped canals, these hand-rolled, size #15 points are designed to inhibit bacterial re-entry, ensuring long-term treatment success
Uses
- Final Root Canal Obturation:
- Serves as the permanent filling material for the root canal system after cleaning and shaping is complete
- Wide Canal Sealing:
- Specifically indicated for larger clinical cases (sizes #45 to #80) where smaller points would not provide an adequate apical fit
- Preventing Reinfection:
- Completely inhibits the entry of bacteria or oral fluids into the root system by replacing empty space with an inert material
- Dual Compaction Techniques:
- Compatible with both lateral condensation (cold) and warm vertical compaction methods
Features
- Assorted ISO Sizing:
- Includes a range of color-coded points from size #45 up to #80 to match correspondingly sized endodontic files
- Hand-Rolled Precision:
- Uniformly hand-rolled to ensure consistent tapering and high clinical efficiency during placement
- High Radiopacity:
- Formulated for excellent visibility on X-rays, allowing dentists to verify the quality of the seal
- Thermoplastic Material:
- Becomes pliable when heated, allowing it to adapt perfectly to the contours of the canal walls
- Convenient Packaging:
- Often sold in "Vial Packs" or sliding boxes containing 120 points for easy access and organization in the clinic
Benefits
- Superior Apical Fit:
- The wide size range ensures a snug fit in the apical portion of larger canals, minimizing voids
- Biocompatibility:
- Features low toxicity and is biologically inert, meaning it won't irritate periapical tissues
- Time Efficiency:
- Designed for fast and effective filling, which can reduce overall chair time for complex procedures
- Dimensional Stability:
- Does not shrink, ensuring the hermetic seal remains intact over time
- Ease of Retreatment:
- If a future procedure is needed, the material remains easily removable through heat or specialized solvents
