The Single-Ended Root Canal Spreader and Plugger instruments are essential tools in endodontic therapy, specifically designed for the precise compaction of gutta-percha during root canal obturation. Each instrument features a slim, tapered working end that ensures effective adaptation of filling material into the root canal system—enhancing the seal and long-term success of the treatment.
Spreaders are used for lateral condensation, gently compacting gutta-percha against the canal walls to create space for accessory points.
Pluggers are used for vertical condensation, pressing the material apically to achieve a dense, void-free fill.
Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, these instruments offer excellent resistance to corrosion, full autoclavability, and long-lasting performance. Their single-ended design and ergonomic, textured handle allow for precise control and improved clinician comfort during delicate procedures.
