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.

• Made from gutta-percha, which is biocompatible and safe for use within the root canal system, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
• Designed to maintain their shape and integrity throughout the obturation process, ensuring a reliable seal and effective root canal treatment.
• Available in sizes that conform to ISO standards, with tapers of 2%, 4%, and 6%, ensuring compatibility with modern rotary endodontic files and precise fit within the root canal.
• Each point is clearly marked with length indicators, aiding in precise measurement and placement during the obturation process.
• Suitable for both warm and cold obturation techniques, offering flexibility based on practitioner preference and procedural requirements.
• Tailored to match the continuously tapering shapes created by contemporary rotary endodontic files, ensuring a snug and effective fit for optimal results.
