- Specific consumable components required to extrude endodontic repair materials through the system's smallest diameter needles
Uses
- Micro-Material Delivery:
- Used exclusively with N°0 Yellow needles (0.90mm diameter) to deliver Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) or bioceramic cements
- Intricate Repairs:
- Ideal for procedures in very narrow root canals, fine apical preparations, or small perforation sites where larger tools cannot fit
- Precision Compaction:
- Acts as the internal piston that compacts the material into a solid cylinder for precise placement at the root tip or defect
Features
- Ultra-Slim Diameter:
- Specifically calibrated for the 0.90mm lumen of the yellow needle series; they will not function correctly in the red or blue needles
- Color-Coded (Yellow):
- The bright yellow color ensures the clinician can instantly match the plunger to the correct needle size during a procedure
- High-Grade Medical Plastic:
- Engineered to provide a smooth, friction-free glide inside the needle, preventing the plunger from snapping or sticking
- Bulk Packaging:
- Sold in packs of 16, allowing for multiple applications during a single complex case or across several patients
Benefits
- Access to Fine Anatomy:
- Enables the delivery of MTA into the narrowest canals, which is often a challenge in geriatric patients or complex molar treatments
- Prevents Clogging:
- The precise fit helps "sweep" the needle clean during material delivery, though regular use of the cleaning curette is still recommended
- Zero Dispersion:
- Ensures the expensive repair material is delivered as a 4mm compacted "plug," which prevents the material from washing away into the surrounding tissue
- Hygienic Workflow:
- These plungers are autoclavable and designed for single-patient use, upholding the high sterilization standards required for endodontic surgery
