- A size #30 (comparable to ProTaper® F3) thermal obturator from the Pac-Taper™ GPC (Gutta-Percha Core) line, it features a cross-linked gutta-percha carrier rather than a plastic one
Uses
- Large Canal Obturation:
- Ideal for larger canals, such as upper centrals or the distal canals of mandibular molars, prepared to an A3/F3 size
- Total Gutta-Percha Fill:
- Used when a clinician wants a 3D seal where the entire filling (core and coating) consists of gutta-percha
- Post-Core Preparations:
- Perfect for teeth intended for post-and-core build-ups, as the carrier is easily removed with a drill
Features
- Gutta-Percha Core Carrier (GPC):
- The internal stem is made of vulcanized gutta-percha, providing enough stiffness to reach the apex but remaining easy to remove
- Alpha-Phase Gutta-Percha Coating:
- A low-viscosity coating that flows into complex lateral anatomy and deltas when heated in an oven
- Radiopacity:
- High visibility on X-rays ensures you can verify a dense, void-free fill all the way to the apex
- Depth Markers:
- Features calibration rings and a rubber stopper for precise control over the insertion depth
- Size-Matched Verifier:
- Each pack includes a #30 verifier to confirm that the canal is shaped adequately for the obturator
Benefits
- Simplified Post-Space & Retreatment:
- Unlike plastic carriers (TOP series), the TOG-A3 carrier can be removed quickly with a rotary file or heat, saving significant chair time if retreatment or a post is needed
- Superior Adaptability:
- The hydraulic action of the carrier forces the warm gutta-percha into the narrowest accessory canals
- Predictable Fit:
- Specifically designed to match the taper and size of popular A3/F3 shaping files, ensuring a snug apical fit
- Equipment Friendly:
- Works with standard obturator ovens (like the Elements™ or Calamus® units) using the same settings as other leading brands
