Dental Gutta-Percha Spreader

Dental Gutta-Percha Spreaders are dental instruments used in endodontic procedures. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

Gutta-percha is a material commonly used in root canal treatments to fill and seal the root canal space. It is a rubber-like material that is heated and then placed into the root canal to provide a tight seal. Dental Gutta-Percha Spreaders are specifically designed instruments used to condense and shape the gutta-percha material within the root canal.

These spreaders typically have a long, thin handle with a flat or rounded tip. The tip is used to compact and shape the gutta-percha material, ensuring it fills the entire root canal space and creates a tight seal. The spreaders come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different tooth anatomy and root canal configurations.

Dental Gutta-Percha Spreaders are essential tools in endodontic procedures, as they help to ensure the success and longevity of root canal treatments. They are commonly used by dentists and endodontists during root canal therapy to achieve optimal results.
