Dentsply ISO Color-Coded 2% Gutta Percha Points - 60 Pack of 120

Dentsply ISO Color-Coded 2% Gutta Percha Points, size 60, are endodontic obturation devices meticulously crafted for sealing root canals. These points are intended to fill the shaped, cleaned, and irrigated root canal space following endodontic therapy. Designed for use by qualified dental professionals in a clinical or hospital environment, they contribute to restoring tooth integrity and masticatory function for patients undergoing root canal treatment.

The gutta-percha points are made from radio-opaque synthetic gutta-percha rubber, with a composition that includes Synthetic Gutta-Percha, Zinc Oxide, Pigment, Stearic Acid USP, Thiophenol, Barium Sulfate, Paraffin, Zinc Stearate, and PEG 400. These materials ensure the points are biocompatible and dimensionally stable, promoting a reliable seal within the root canal system. The 2% taper of these points ensures optimal adaptation to root canal walls, minimizing the risk of voids.

While the Dentsply Gutta Percha Points are manufactured to conform to ISO standards and feature ISO Color Coding for easy identification of sizes during endodontic procedures, they are supplied in a non-sterile configuration and require disinfection prior to use. The Conform Fit® Gutta Percha Points, a related product family, are classified as a Class IIa medical device under Regulation (EU) 2017/745. This specific SKU is provided in a Pack of 120 points.

Key Features : 

Intended for filling the shaped, cleaned, and irrigated root canal space during endodontic therapy.
Composed of radio-opaque synthetic gutta-percha rubber, offering biocompatibility and dimensional stability.
Classified as a Class IIa medical device under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (for the Conform Fit® Gutta Percha family).

Prepare the root canal:
Clean and shape the root canal using standard endodontic techniques.
Remove the smear layer if desired, as gutta-percha can penetrate dentinal tubules better without it.
Soften the gutta-percha:
Use a heat source to warm the gutta-percha. Electrically heated spreaders or specially designed heat carriers are recommended for this purpose.
Ensure that the instruments are only gently warmed to avoid melting the gutta-percha.
Lateral compaction:
Select a gutta-percha cone of appropriate size and taper.
Fit the cone into the canal carefully, ensuring a snug fit.
Use the sharp tip of the heat carrier instrument to laterally compact the softened gutta-percha against the canal walls.
Apply gentle pressure and work the instrument back and forth to achieve compaction.
Repeat this process with additional gutta-percha cones as necessary, gradually building up the root filling.
Vertical compaction (optional):
If desired, use the blunt plugger tip of the heat carrier instrument for limited vertical compaction of the softened gutta-percha in the apical portion of the canal.
Apply a continuous wave of heat to soften and down pack a gutta-percha cone, achieving a well-compacted obturation in the apical area.
Additional increments of gutta-percha can be added if needed to fill the remaining portion of the canal.
Complete the obturation:
Once the desired level of gutta-percha compaction is achieved, remove any excess gutta-percha.
Clean the canal of any solvents or debris.
Apply a root canal sealer of your choice.
Fill the canal completely with a sealer using a suitable technique (e.g., cold lateral compaction, warm vertical compaction, or other preferred method).
Ensure proper adaptation of the sealer and gutta-percha to the canal walls.
