6. Shape and clean canals to sizes compatible with the root shape, size and curvature.
Over-enlargement of root canal systems should be avoided to preserve sound dentin and to
prevent possible instrument damage in the canal space, e.g., ledging, creation of false canals,
separation of instruments.
7. Flare the canal coronally and ensure the GUTTACORE
the root canal along the straight line access by using an orifice shaping instrument as
necessary such as X-GATES, PROTAPER NEXT

PROFILE O.S.
8. Proceed slowly with all instruments in areas of canal irregularity and curvature.
9. Consider all root canal instruments for "single patient use" applications, as wear and fatigue may
impact the integrity of the instrument and result in separation with excessive use.
10. Verify the canal size prior to obturating.
11. Irrigate frequently throughout the cleaning and shaping procedure.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are designed to help gain an understanding of the technique and safe application of
the product. Practice on plastic blocks and extracted teeth is strongly recommended prior to clinical
applications.
1. Crosslinking
Crosslinking is a well-known chemical process
Crosslinking creates the subtle strength needed in a centrally compacting obturator.
®
GUTTACORE Obturators create the hydraulics you expect from DENTSPLY MAILLEFER obturators
with the added benefit of having a gutta-percha core. It is important to note that crosslinked gutta-
percha is not sticky, does not melt and will not dissolve with dental solvents.
2. Hydraulics
®
GUTTACORE Obturators move warm gutta-percha 3-dimensionally into the root canal system. Many
obturation techniques use lateral or vertical compaction, however the hydraulic force from these
techniques generally moves gutta-percha in one or two unequal directions (laterally or apically).
®
GUTTACORE Obturators use a crosslinked gutta-percha core for centrally compacting the flowing
gutta-percha in the canal. The hydraulic force compacts warm gutta-percha flowing equally in 3-
dimensions. Proper cleaning, shaping and irrigation, along with the central compacting hydraulic force
facilitate the flow of gutta-percha in the root canal system.
3. Shaping
Proper shaping removes pulpal tissue and dental debris permitting the GUTTACORE
move passively through the canal. Shaping begins by creating straight-line access and shaping the
canal – crown down.
• Create Glide Path
Establish working length and create a glide path for the rotary files to follow.
Negotiate all root canals to their terminus with stainless steel K-Files, in the presence of GLYDE
®
File Prep root canal conditioner. Establish patency by taking a #10 K-File past the canal
terminus, and expand the glide path by using alternatively a mechanized glide path

(PROGLIDER or PATHFILE

) or a manual #15 K-File to the terminus.
