Endodontist Tools

Endodontists specialize in endodontic treatments, which generally are root canals which involve damage or tooth decay that surpasses the tooth's outer portion, called the enamel. Endodontists focus primarily on issues that involve the inside of the tooth or teeth, basically the pulp of the teeth which consists of both blood vessels and nerve tissues. Endodontists use slightly different tools than general dentists use in their practices and procedures.

  1. Types

    • There are a lot of different types of endodontist tools, including canal condensors (pluggers), periodontal probes, spatulas, suction tips, spoon excavators, endodontic explorers, mouth mirrors, anesthetic syringes, endo rulers, broaches, mouth props, canal spreaders, clamps and others. Many of these tools overlap with traditional dentistry instruments.

    ENDOAdvance

    • The ENDOAdvance tool is used for root canal preparation in endodontics procedures. This tool offers automatic torque control and is safe and effective. This tool removes material from the mouth with continuous rotational techniques, patented friction clutch and gear reduction.

    ENDOStraight

    • ENDOStraight is a commonly used endodontics tool for canal preparation. This tool has zero torque restriction and has a straight hand piece which makes it able to get perfect balance while preparing the mouth before a root canal procedure. This stand-alone tool has perfect ergonomics.

    INTRA LUX Heads

    • These endodontics tools have a maximum operating speed of 10,000 RPM and help to clean interdental cavities, remove excess filling substances, eliminate subgingival plaque and supragingival plaque, perform root smoothing, perform prepolish fillings and many other functions.
