Endodontic treatments involve several steps that need to be done using different equipment. However, the way this procedure is performed has changed over the years. Contemporary technologies have made it possible to simplify the procedure and make it more accurate and safe.
An endodontic obturation system is the best option for any dentist or endodontist that wants to improve the quality of the procedures and boost the workflow.
An endodontic obturation system consists of multiple devices that make the obturation process easier and more effective. It is used to accurately seal and fill all the lateral canals through a vertical compaction technique.
Although it comprises multiple devices, the most common ones are the injectable gutta-percha gun and the obturation pen.
The gutta-percha gun warms a gutta-percha to make it flowable. Afterward, it is injected directly into the root canal. With this method, gutta-percha can flow into any crevices inside the canal.
On the contrary, the obturation pen warms the gutta-percha that has already been placed inside the root canal. By doing so, the dentist can press down the heated gutta-percha. This causes it to flow into any lateral root canal and ensures a perfect seal.
Consequently, an endodontic obturation system becomes the best alternative to guarantee the treatment's success.
