Obturators

The Efficient Choice for Predictable 3D Fills

When it comes to successful results, we’re all looking for the same thing: a dense, 3D-fill that includes lateral and accessory canals. That’s where the hydraulics of centrally compacting obturators comes in.

Many obturation techniques use lateral or vertical compaction of gutta-percha. The hydraulic force from these techniques generally moves gutta-percha in one or two unequal directions (laterally or apically).

DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties obturators centrally compact the gutta-percha with a hydraulic force that sends it flowing equally in three dimensions – throughout the entire canal system.

The difference starts with their flexible design featuring a solid core surrounded by flowable gutta-percha. A single insertion fills the entire canal, while one groove along the obturator’s core allow excess gutta-percha to backflow coronally. Obturators bring consistency, control, and confidence to root canal preparations, delivering dependable results and efficient procedures.
