Waldent Obturation Pen System
Waldent Obturation Pen System is a cordless system used for Warm Vertical Compaction while performing RCT. Using Obturation Pen, pressure can be applied in a vertical direction to the heat softened gutta percha . This allows flowing and filling of gutta percha uniformly into the canal.
WALDENT OBTURATION PEN
FEATURES:
- Slim design, light body, comfortable grip to reduce your exhaustion and easy handling.
- The needle type and temperature mode can be adjustable, make the gutta point more compact.
- Short heating time, up to 150 degree within 2s
- Adopting gutta percha vertical condensation technology
- Double batteries, convenient to replace, saving chairside time
FOR EFFECTIVE WARM VERTICAL COMPACTION:
- A continuous tapering funnel should be present from the root canal orifice to the root apex.
- Root canal should be prepared so that it flows with the shape
- Shape of Apical foramen should not be changed or moved.
- Apical foramen should be kept as small as is practical so that excess gutta percha will not be forced through it during vertical compaction

- 4 x Tips (F, FM, M, ML)
STEP 1:
- Preparation -gutta percha point
STEP 2:
Prepatration -hand plugger:
- Prepare 2-3 plugger to compact gutta percha ,mark root canal length by rubber stopper.
STEP 3:
Preparation -pen tip:
- Select proper pen tip for root canal
STEP 4:
Dry root canal:
- Dry the root canal using paper point
STEP 5:
- Select the gutta percha point.
STEP 6:
- Mark the length of pen tip
STEP 7:
Insert gutta percha point:
- Coat 3mm from the tip with sealer, insert in to root canal with pumping action
STEP 8:
Removal of excess gutta percha:
- Cut the excess gutta percha by pen tip.
STEP 9:
Heating & insertion:
- Heat and insert pen tip with gutta percha to 4-6mm short of the working length
(NOTE: High temperature mode is recommended for this step because of too much gutta)
STEP 10:
Compaction:
- Stop the heating and maintain the pressure about 10 secs
STEP 11:
Removal of pen tip:
- Removal after heating the pen tip for 1~2 seconds to avoid gutta percha come out with pen tip
STEP 12:
Compact:
- Compact the warmed gutta percha with the plugger.
(NOTE: Its proper to use low temperature mode because of less gutta)
