Advanced Root Canal Obturation System: Secure, Biocompatible, Predictable
Product Overview
The final and most critical step in successful endodontic therapy is the complete and hermetic obturation of the root canal system. Our Advanced Root Canal Obturation System provides dentists and endodontists with a superior solution for this vital procedure. Engineered for optimal sealing, biocompatibility, and ease of use, our system ensures predictable long-term clinical success and the preservation of the treated tooth.
Comprising high-quality Gutta-Percha points and meticulously formulated accompanying sealers (sold separately or as a compatible range), this system is designed to provide a dense, three-dimensional fill, preventing microleakage and reinfection.
Key Features
- Premium Gutta-Percha Points:
- High Purity & Consistency: Manufactured from pharmaceutical-grade Gutta-Percha, ensuring consistent quality, flexibility, and predictable handling.
- Exceptional Radiopacity: Contains appropriate levels of barium sulfate for clear visibility on radiographs, allowing for precise verification of the obturation length and density.
- Superior Biocompatibility: Inert material ensures minimal tissue reaction and promotes healing, crucial for patient safety and comfort.
- Optimal Dimensional Stability: Maintains shape and volume over time, preventing shrinkage and reducing the risk of voids.
- Precisely Sized & Tapered: Available in ISO standard sizes (e.g., 15-80) and tapers (.02, .04, .06), as well as non-standardized sizes (e.g., accessory points), ensuring a perfect fit with instrumented canals.
- Flexible Application: Compatible with both cold (lateral condensation) and warm (vertical condensation, continuous wave) obturation techniques.
- Easy Retreatment: Gutta-Percha's thermoplastic properties allow for relatively easy removal if retreatment becomes necessary.
- Complementary Sealer Integration (Sealer sold separately or recommended):
- Designed for optimal adhesion and compatibility with a wide range of leading root canal sealers (e.g., zinc-oxide eugenol, resin-based, bioceramic).
- Ensures a cohesive bond between the gutta-percha and the dentin walls, maximizing the seal.
Benefits
- For the Practitioner:
- Enhanced Treatment Predictability: Achieve consistent, high-quality root canal fills with confidence.
- Streamlined Workflow: Easy handling and precise sizing simplify the obturation procedure.
- Superior Diagnostic Clarity: Excellent radiopacity enables clear radiographic evaluation, confirming the quality of the fill.
- Reduced Risk of Post-Treatment Complications: Effective seal prevents bacterial re-entry, minimizing the incidence of post-operative pain or infection.
- Versatility: Adaptable to your preferred obturation technique.
- For the Patient:
- Long-Term Tooth Preservation: Contributes directly to the longevity of the treated tooth, preventing extraction.
- Prevention of Re-infection: A hermetic seal significantly reduces the chance of future infections.
- Comfort & Confidence: Biocompatible materials promote healing and overall patient well-being.
Indications for Use
Our Root Canal Obturation System is indicated for the permanent, three-dimensional filling of root canal systems following thorough cleaning and shaping in cases such as:
- Irreversible Pulpitis
- Pulp Necrosis
- Retreatment of previously failed root canal therapy
- Traumatic dental injuries with pulp involvement
- Planned restorative procedures requiring endodontic treatment
Contraindications
- Unprepared or inadequately cleaned root canal systems.
- Known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to gutta-percha or any components of the accompanying sealer.
- Severe anatomical complexities that prevent proper instrumentation and obturation.

- Packaging: Available in convenient blister packs or vials, various counts per pack (e.g., 60, 120, 200 points).
Directions for Use (General Guidelines)
- Preparation: Thoroughly clean and shape the root canal system using established endodontic protocols. Dry the canal with paper points.
- Point Selection: Select the master gutta-percha point that corresponds to the final apical file size and taper. Confirm the working length with a "tug-back" test or radiographically.
- Sealer Application: Apply a thin, even layer of your preferred, compatible root canal sealer to the canal walls.
- Obturation:
- Cold Condensation: Insert the master gutta-percha point to the working length. Use a suitable spreader and accessory gutta-percha points to laterally condense the fill until the canal is densely obturated.
- Warm Condensation: Employ your chosen warm obturation technique (e.g., continuous wave, warm vertical compaction) with the selected gutta-percha points.
- Coronal Seal: Remove excess gutta-percha at the canal orifice and create an adequate coronal seal with a restorative material.
- Verification: Take a final radiograph to confirm the quality, density, and length of the obturation.
