The slight bend gives better access to molars than straight versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 0.5mm and 0.6mm tips are fine enough for the narrow apical third. The bend lets the instrument reach canals in molars, where a straight plugger runs into the opposing arch or the cheek.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the smaller end in the tightest canals and the other end where there is a little more room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChoosing and Using a Plugger\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eVertical compaction works best when the plugger is sized to the canal. Try the plugger in the canal before obturation to confirm it reaches the depth you need without binding on the walls, and mark it with a stop if you want to control the depth. A plugger that is too large will stop short, and one that is too small will not push the material against the walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean the tip between insertions so filling material does not stick to it, and check the tips for bending or wear after each case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost endodontic sets carry several plugger sizes, from fine apical tips to wide coronal ones, because compaction usually moves from small to large as the filling is built up toward the canal orifice. Keeping the full range on hand means the right size is always at the chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel. Autoclavable for repeated sterilization cycles. Clean and dry the instrument after each use, and check the working ends for wear or damage before it goes into the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-ended angled plugger, 0.5mm and 0.6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine tips for the apical third\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlight bend for molar access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor apical compaction in posterior teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sizes on one handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical grade stainless steel, autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751014891834,"sku":"ED256","price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Angled-Apical-Plugger-0.5mm-_-0.6mm.webp?v=1792584638","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-angled-apical-plugger-0-5mm-0-6mm-ed256","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
