The finest Gutta-Smart™ plugger, 40/.025, for the narrowest down pack

Heat pluggers wear out, and Dentsply Sirona say so. They write that all electric heat pluggers “will gradually lose their heating efficiency over time”, and that a deformed or oxidised one should be replaced. This is the small – 40/.025, black – for the Pack handpiece.

›  Never fire it in air. Dentsply Sirona: heating a plugger without contact with gutta-percha can damage it – the most common way to shorten its life.
›  Four seconds, no more. The directions limit a heated plugger to 4 seconds in the canal, to prevent thermal injury.
›  Let it cool before swapping. Turn off, wait, then pull it straight out of the handpiece.
›  Dispose of in a sharps bin. As the directions ask, when it is retired.

Questions we get asked

Which size do I need?
The kit ships with all three. Dentsply Sirona publish the sizes, not a canal-by-canal selection rule, so choose as you would any heat plugger. Other sizes: Medium 50/.05 · Large 60/.06.

Is it covered by the handpiece warranty?
No. Dentsply Sirona treat the pluggers as consumables, outside the 24-month handpiece warranty.
