Endodontic Stop Gage

Endodontic stop gauges are dental instruments used in endodontic procedures, specifically in root canal treatments. 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.

Endodontic stop gauges are small, cylindrical devices made of metal or plastic. They are used to determine the working length of a root canal during treatment. The working length refers to the distance from the tip of the tooth's root to the point where the root canal treatment should end.

To use an endodontic stop gauge, the dentist or endodontist places the gauge into the root canal until it reaches the desired working length. The gauge is then marked or measured, and this measurement is used as a reference point for the rest of the root canal treatment.

Endodontic stop gauges are essential tools in ensuring accurate and precise root canal treatments. They help prevent over-instrumentation or under-instrumentation of the root canal, which can lead to complications or treatment failure.

In summary, endodontic stop gauges are dental instruments used to determine the working length of a root canal during endodontic procedures. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, in the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.
