- Used to prepare the root canal to receive a matching Size 2 dental post, ensuring a high-precision fit
Uses
- Post-Hole Preparation:
- Used to shape the primary canal channel after initial gutta-percha removal with Peeso or Gates Glidden reamers
- Precision Sizing:
- Specifically calibrated to match the dimensions of Size 2 Pac-Flex posts, creating a stable foundation for restorations
- Sequential Preparation:
- Often serves as a larger-diameter step in the endodontic sequence for teeth with wider root canals
Features
- Diameter:
- Features a precision 1.45mm diameter
- Color-Coding:
- Coded Blue for quick identification as a Size 2 instrument
- Self-Limiting Design:
- Engineered to be self-limiting within its specific size to prevent over-enlargement of the canal
- Compatibility:
- Designed for use with both Stainless Steel and Titanium Pac-Flex post refill kits
Benefits
- Superior Retention:
- By creating a precisely sized hole, it allows the post's sharp threads to cut into the dentin, providing maximum mechanical retention for the core build-up
- Minimized Stress:
- The high cutting efficiency reduces pressure on the root structure during preparation, which helps prevent root fractures
- Improved Efficiency:
- Part of a standardized, color-coded system that makes size recognition and procedural steps intuitive for the dental team
