9 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What size is the smallest tip?
The smallest is the small black plugger with ISO 40 Taper 03. The
material of the outer surface is made out of stainless steel.
How hot can a tip get?
At maximum power, a tip can reach 400°C. You can adjust the heat down
to 100°C by using the lowest power setting. The recommended working
temperature for downpack is 200°C.
Is not this high temperature dangerous?
Like other dental equipment, the unit should only be used by a trained
professional. You can use the high heat setting to sear off gutta-percha
in the lateral condensation technique where a cluster of cones are cut
through. If you want to remove gutta-percha, with continuous wave
technique you should use a lower heat setting of 200°C.
What is the normal power setting?
The maximum heat setting should be used only when searing off
gutta-percha. For the vertical condensation technique and continuous
wave technique, we recommend a power setting of 200°C.
How long will the tip last?
It depends on how well you take care of the tip. The life of a tip will be
reduced by:
a. running it too hot for long periods of time
b. working with high temperatures
c. bending or putting to much mechanical force on it.
The tips should be used only to transfer heat - not to exert manual force!
Our recommendation is that you use a cold manual plugger for that
purpose. All tips will gradually lose their heating efficiency over time. This
is strongly depending on the user.
