Features:
-
Purpose:
- Highly flexible instrument used during root canal procedures for lateral condensation
- Compacts gutta-percha sideways against the canal walls
-
Size:
- "Thin" spreader
- Its slender tip is designed for precise lateral condensation, especially in narrow or curved canals
- Material:
- The physical properties of the Ni-Ti alloy allow the instrument to bend and conform to the curved shape of a root canal without becoming permanently distorted
- It can then return to its original shape after use
- Flexible and strong:
- Offers superior flexibility for deeper penetration into the apical third of a root canal, especially in cases with significant root curvature
- Despite their flexibility, they have high resistance to fracture
- Handle:
- The instrument comes with a standard round handle
- Application:
- In cases with complex or severe curvature, a Ni-Ti spreader is often the only instrument that can achieve proper lateral condensation and create a successful seal
