It gives dense compaction of filling materials in larger canal spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1.5mm tip is broad enough to push a good volume of material against the walls, and the straight shaft delivers the force along the canal axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it after smaller pluggers have worked the apical third, to finish compaction in the middle and upper parts.\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\u003eStraight plugger with a 1.5mm tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the coronal and middle thirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense compaction in larger canals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight in-line pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for larger canal spaces\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":67751014498618,"sku":"ED253","price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Straight-Apical-Plugger-1.5mm.webp?v=1792584633","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-straight-apical-plugger-1-5mm-ed253","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
