Clinicians use endodontic hand instruments such as explorers, spreaders, pluggers, and excavators regularly, so having a set that is designed with ergonomics in mind will help reduce hand fatigue and the long-term effects of aggressively pinching instruments during procedures. Paradise Dental Technologies (PDT) endodontic instruments feature PDT’s signature lightweight resin handles that have knurling up to the instrument shank for easier handling.
The double-ended DG 16 Explorer is made of flexible, strong steel and has an ultra-light resin handle that provides the tactile sensitivity clinicians need when they are evaluating the pulp chamber and root canals. The D11 Endo Spreader provides access to difficult canals, enabling the compaction of filling materials without compromising tactile sensitivity. The D11T Endo Spreader has a slightly thinner diameter for accessing more difficult-to-reach canals.
PDT offers four Endo Pluggers for condensing gutta percha into canals: 1/3, 5/7, 9/11, and the Glick Blade, which features a paddle-shaped end for placing materials and a spreader-shaped end for condensing it. PDT’s three styles of Endo Excavators, 31L, 32L, and 33L, can be used to access and remove debris from the pulp chamber.
Like PDT’s other full lines of dental instruments, its endodontic instruments are made with the finest materials and processes available and are designed to help keep career-ending musculoskeletal disorders at bay. To explore the endodontic instrument line, visit PDT's website!
