Obturating with Gutta-Percha

Overview
Step by Step

Ultrasonics is faster, easier and more economical than a heating unit.

Ultrasonics are an effective alternative for thermoplasticising Gutta-Percha. Initially, the master cone is placed to the desired length. A thin ultrasonic tip is then placed to an apical extent within the canal. With activation, the tip will generate heat and thermoplasticize the Gutta-Percha. Subsequently, bulkier tips may be used in the middle and coronal portions of the canal. At the level of the orifice, the cones can be cut using the same tips. This method can be more economical than purchasing specialized heating units with corresponding pluggers.

The E11 Heatsonic™ is a .05 taper/20 ISO insert, ideal for thermoplasticizing Gutta-Percha in the most apical portion of the canal. To avoid accidental use of water during the procedures, the Heatsonic insert does not have a water port.

“Since I started to use Helse ultrasonic tips, it was clear to me that I was dealing with innovative and excellent products for Endodontics. Cost wise they are a great deal, and the clinical results are outstanding.”
