Dentsply Gutta Percha (GP normal)

Hand Rolled Gutta Percha Points.
High Quality.
The gutta-percha point size is according to the ISO standards
Reliable insertion down to the apex.
Length Marked.
For all warm and cold obturations.
Available in monochrome white in order to avoid tooth darkening.
The gutta percha is specially designed to match the continuously tapering shapes that are created using the rotary endodontic files of today.

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.
