Product Description
Description
- Gapadent Gutta-Percha (GP) Points are endodontic filling materials used to obturate (fill) cleaned and shaped root canals.
- These are natural gutta-percha cones, hand-rolled, radiopaque, latex-free, and manufactured to standardized tolerances to ensure a close match with canal preparations (shape and size).
- Some versions are “conventional” (i.e. standard taper, often 2%), “ISO” (in standard sizes), or “Accessory / Extra-Fine” for finer canals.
- They come in a range of sizes (for example #10 up to #140 in the ISO 2% taper version).
- The cones are color coded for size identification.
- The length is ~28 mm.
- Packaging is in vials or spill-proof plastic compartments (multi-size assortments or single sizes).
Features
Here are the key features of Gapadent Conventional GP Points:
Feature | Details |
Material | Natural gutta-percha, latex-free. |
Radiopacity | Cones are radiopaque (visible under X-ray), allowing verification of fill. |
Taper | Standard / conventional taper, often 2% (.02 taper). |
Sizes | Wide range (ISO #10 to #140, also accessory / extra fine, etc.). |
Length | ~28 mm (±1 mm) for standard points. |
Color-Coding | Each size is color-coded for easy identification. |
Quality / Manufacturing | Hand-rolled (or laser inspected / hand rolled), close tolerances, shelf life stability. |
Latex Free | Yes. |
Highlight / Selling Points
What makes these Gapadent Conventional GP points attractive / competitive:
-
Compatibility with Standard File Systems
Because the taper is conventional (2%), these GP points match many standard hand or rotary file preparations. This means less modification needed, better “fit” and seal. -
Wide Size Range
Having sizes from very fine (#10) up to large (#140) enables matching to a variety of canal sizes, including small accessory canals or wide canals in large teeth. -
Ease of Use
Colour coding and standardized lengths and taper help speed up selection. Helps reduce errors in choosing wrong size or taper. -
Radiographic Visibility
Radiopacity ensures you can verify the GP point’s position on radiographs, ensuring accurate obturation. -
Safe for Biological Tissues
Natural material, latex-free, intended to be non-irritant to periapical tissues. -
Good Adaptation to Techniques
Because of flexibility, taper, and manufacturing precision, these GP points are suitable for a variety of obturation techniques (cold lateral compaction, single cone, etc.). Also can be used in vertical condensation / warm techniques if matching taper and size. -
Shelf Life and Storage
Some versions come with good shelf life (4 years in some specs) and stable storage packaging.
