GapaDent K files Conventional Paper Points (PP)

Description:

• GapaDent (Gapadent) Paper Points are absorbent, hand-rolled endodontic paper points designed for drying root canals after instrumentation.

• The “K” / “K Flexi” line typically corresponds to compatibility with “K-type” files or conventional instrumentation (rather than rotary systems).

• They come in assorted ISO sizes (e.g. #15, #20, #25, #30, #35, #40) and sometimes in various tapers (2%, 4%, 6%).

• The points are color-coded at the tips for easier size identification.

• Packaging and case: may come in slide-open boxes or dispensing trays.

• They are manufactured under tight tolerances (ISO standard tolerances, e.g. ±0.049 mm) as per GapaDent’s quality system claims

Key Features:

1. High Absorbency
   The paper points are designed to absorb moisture effectively from canals after shaping and irrigation.

2. Firm yet Flexible
   They maintain a balance: rigid enough to be inserted into canal spaces, yet flexible enough to navigate curvature without easily breaking.

3. Uniform, Hand-Rolled Construction
   The points are hand-rolled in a uniform fashion, ensuring consistency of shape and taper along their length.

4. Graduated Sizes & Tapers
   Multiple sizes and tapers allow matching to prepared canal dimensions. This helps avoid over- or under-fitting of the paper point.

5. Color-Coded Tips for Size Identification
   Each ISO / size is coded with a unique color at the tip, so clinicians can quickly pick the correct size.

6. Packaging / Delivery Convenience
   Many versions are supplied in slide-open boxes or dispensing trays for hygienic, one-hand access.

7. Standards Compliance
   They’re made to conform to ISO tolerances, which ensures reliable dimensional consistency.

Highlight / Selling Points:

• Reliable Moisture Control — Essential for final drying of the canal and achieving a good seal during obturation.

• Versatility in Use — Because of the range of sizes/tapers, they can be used with conventional (hand) as well as some rotary protocols.

• Ease of Identification — The color-coding helps speed up workflow and reduce selection errors.

• Quality Assurance — The manufacturer claims strict tolerances (e.g., 0.049 mm) and quality management in production.

• User-friendly Packaging — Slide boxes / dispensing trays make point selection and handling more efficient in clinical settings.

• Compatibility — The “K” or “K Flexi” variant is often meant to complement K-file systems, ensuring that the paper point shape matches the preparation’s geometry.
