Endodontic instruments are the hand instruments used during root canal treatment to locate canals, condense filling material, and place sealers and MTA.

Frequently asked questions

1. What instruments are used in root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment uses an endodontic explorer to locate canal orifices, hand and rotary files to clean and shape, paper points to dry, and pluggers, condensers, and spreaders to compact gutta percha during obturation. Lentulo spirals and MTA carriers place sealer and MTA, completing the fill.

2. What is a Lentulo spiral paste carrier used for?

A Lentulo spiral paste carrier is used to carry and spin root canal sealer, calcium hydroxide, or other paste deep into the canal. Mounted in a slow-speed handpiece, its spiral flutes rotate to drive material evenly to working length, giving better coverage than hand placement before obturation.

3. Are Waldent endodontic instruments genuine and autoclavable?

Yes. Waldent endodontic instruments are supplied genuine through waldent.com and authorised dealers, made from surgical stainless steel, and are fully autoclavable at 135°C. Finger pluggers and carriers are stocked in 21mm and 25mm lengths, with bulk and college-tender pricing available.
