- A precision-engineered dental tool used during the restorative phase of root canal therapy to prepare the canal space for a dental post
Uses
- Post Space Preparation:
- Used to remove gutta-percha and shape the root canal to receive a post
- Precision Reaming:
- Specifically calibrated to create a hole that perfectly matches the dimensions of Size 1 Pac-Flex posts, ensuring optimal mechanical fit
- Core Build-Up Support:
- Creates the necessary foundation for the subsequent placement of core materials and crowns
Features
- Diameter:
- Features a precise 1.20mm diameter
- Color-Coding:
- Coded Red for immediate identification as a Size 1 instrument within the system's color-coded blister packs
- Guided Cutting:
- Often includes a tapered or safe-ended tip to provide a smooth transition and reduce the risk of ledging or root perforation
Benefits
- Maximum Retention:
- Ensures the post's threads can properly cut into the dentin, providing superior retention for the restoration
- Risk Mitigation:
- Designed to minimize stress on the root structure during the preparation of the canal, reducing the chance of micro-fractures
- Seamless Integration:
- Fully compatible with both Stainless Steel and Titanium Pac-Flex refill kits, allowing for a standardized clinical workflow
