Additional Information for Retrofill Amalgam Plugger
Retrofill Amalgam Plugger is a dental instrument used in restorative dentistry. It is specifically designed for condensing and shaping amalgam material during retrofill procedures.
A retrofill procedure, also known as a root-end filling or apicoectomy, is performed when a root canal treatment is not sufficient to resolve a dental infection or when a root canal retreatment is not possible. During this procedure, the tip of the tooth root is removed, and a filling material, such as amalgam, is placed to seal the root canal and prevent further infection.
The Retrofill Amalgam Plugger is used to compact and shape the amalgam material, ensuring a tight seal and proper adaptation to the root canal walls. It typically has a long, slender handle for easy access to the root canal area and a flat or rounded working end for condensing the amalgam.
This instrument is part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies. These supplies are essential for dental professionals to perform various dental procedures and maintain oral health.
