Thermomechanical Solid-Core Gutta-percha Obturation


Ø  This system consists of titanium core devices that come in ISO sizes 15 to 60, resemble latch-type endodontic drills, coated with alpha-phase gutta-percha
Ø  These devices are fitted to the prepared root canal and then, following the sealer, are spun in the canal with a regular low-speed, latch-type handpiece.

Ø  Friction heat plasticizes the gutta-percha and it is compacted to place by the design of the Quick-Fill core.
