During a root canal procedure, the proper distribution of gutta percha throughout the root canal system is essential. Gutta percha is a thermoplastic material used to fill the pulp space after the canal system has been thoroughly cleaned and shaped. The use of finger spreaders, hand and heated pluggers have greatly improved the dentists’ ability to apply this gutta percha efficiently and effectively throughout the entire root canal. Kerr Dental is proud to offer endodontic dental finger spreaders. They are tapered for moving gutta percha laterally, thus making room for additional gutta percha cones to be placed in the canal space.
In addition, Kerr Dental offers finger pluggers. These double-ended pluggers feature stainless steel on one end and nickel-titanium on the other end. Both the finger spreaders and finger pluggers are available in standardized sizes and are designed to match with the Kerr Gutta Percha Points. They are also available in packages with an assortment of sizes to make supplying your office easier.
Kerr Dental is proud to supply dentists with the instruments and equipment that they need to improve patient care and office efficiency. Get in touch with us to learn more about finger spreaders and finger pluggers and how they can enhance your practice.
