Soft Core Obturator

The Soft Core System, following its introduction in 1996, is still one of the fastest and simplest means to 3 dimensionally fill a root canal and produce a complete apical seal. With over 20 million canals obturated, Soft Core has withstood the test of time for over 15 years!

The unique features of Soft Core allow it to be used with all file systems, whether it be hand files or rotary files.

In addition, the advantages over other obturation techniques are obvious :

• Less expensive
• Detachable handle
• Easier post space creation
• Gamma irradiated obturators packaged in individual compartments

Soft Core Obturators are manufactured with a radiopaque plastic core coated with injection molded thermoplastic gutta percha.

The handle and insertion pin may be removed leaving a hollow portion in the coronal section of the core. This facilitates post space creation using our Core Remover bur.

The handle and insertion pin may also be snapped off at the orifice of the canal once the gutta percha has cooled. Removing the handle after each canal is obturated will increase access and visibility when filling multi rooted teeth.

Soft Core is available in sizes #20 through #70. The taper is compatible with all file systems.

The Soft Core Heater can accommodate four obturators at one time – ideal for multi rooted teeth. The heating time is 60 seconds. However, the unit prevents overheating to allow use of the obturators as they are needed.

The Soft Core Package is designed with six individually sealed compartments to avoid cross contamination of the obturators. Each compartment has an easy peel off seal.
