Paper Points are sterile, highly absorbent dental tips used in root canal treatments to dry canals after irrigation. Designed in precise sizes with color coding, they ensure clean, moisture-free canals before sealing. Hygienic, disposable, and easy to handle, they offer superior absorption and accuracy compared to traditional drying materials, making them essential in professional endodontic procedures.
Description
Paper Points are essential dental consumables used primarily in endodontic procedures to dry root canals after cleaning and shaping. These precision-rolled, highly absorbent tips are designed to wick away moisture and residual irrigants, ensuring a clean, dry canal environment before obturation. Each point is manufactured in uniform sizes and taper standards to match endodontic instruments, allowing dentists to work with accuracy and confidence.
Key features include strong absorbency, rigid structure for easy insertion, and color-coded tips for quick size identification. They are lint-free and sterile, reducing the risk of contamination during treatment. Paper Points are disposable and designed for single use, maintaining strict hygiene standards in every procedure.
Commonly used in root canal therapy, they help achieve the dryness required for effective sealing with gutta-percha or sealers. Compared to cotton pellets or improvised drying materials, Paper Points offer superior precision and reach deep canal spaces that are otherwise inaccessible. They are compatible with manual and rotary endodontic systems.
Industries that rely on them include dental clinics, endodontic specialty practices, and teaching institutions. Some variations may also comply with international dental quality and CE standards, ensuring reliability and safety in clinical use.
Paper Points are packaged in organized assortments, typically in size ranges (such as 15–40), assisting practitioners in selecting the correct size without delay. Their quick action and gentle contact help preserve canal integrity without causing damage or altering canal shape.
