The flat tip applies force across the filling material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits the apical and middle thirds of narrow to medium canals.\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.

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\u003eAngled plugger with a 0.8mm tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic access to the root apex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh compaction force for filling materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor narrow to medium canals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat tip for even pressure\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":67751014924602,"sku":"ED257","price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Angled-Apical-Plugger-0.8mm.webp?v=1792584639","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-angled-apical-plugger-0-8mm-ed257","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
