- A size #25 (comparable to ProTaper® F2) thermal obturator within the Pac-Taper™ GPC line, unlike the "TOP" version, the "TOG" model features a Gutta-Percha Core Carrier, making it a "total gutta-percha" solution
Uses
- Root Canal Obturation:
- Designed to provide a dense, 3D fill for canals prepared to an A2/F2 size
- Cases Requiring Post-Space:
- Ideal for teeth that will eventually need a post, as the core is easily removed
- Complex Canal Anatomy:
- Used to force heated gutta-percha into lateral and accessory canals that traditional cold methods might miss
Features
- Gutta-Percha Core (GPC):
- The central "stem" is made of vulcanized gutta-percha rather than plastic, providing rigidity for insertion while remaining entirely drillable
- Alpha-Phase Coating:
- Encased in a layer of flowable alpha-phase gutta-percha that softens perfectly in an obturator oven
- Calibration Markers:
- Includes built-in rings and a rubber stopper to ensure the obturator is seated to the exact apical depth
- High Radiopacity:
- Formulated to show up clearly on X-rays, allowing for easy verification of the seal
- Matched Verifier:
- Includes a size-matched #25 verifier to test the canal's "fit" before committing to the heated obturator
Benefits
- Easier Retreatment:
- If a root canal needs to be redone, the gutta-percha carrier can be removed with standard files or heat—no plastic core to struggle with
- Seamless Post Prep:
- Clinicians can easily create space for a post using a heated instrument or drill without the risk of snagging a plastic carrier
- Superior 3D Seal:
- The hydraulic pressure of the carrier ensures the warm gutta-percha fills the canal completely from the apex to the crown
- Workflow Compatibility:
- Fits right into your existing routine; it works with most standard dental ovens and matches the sizing of popular rotary file systems
