Obtura Spartan CPR® · 17.0 mm · standard thread
Obtura Spartan call this one the workhorse, and the name is fair. Diamond coated, 17.0 mm, and listed by them for three of the jobs that fill a retreatment appointment: removal of core materials, chasing calcified canals, and uncovering hidden orifices. It is the tip most operators reach for first and replace most often.

How long does a tip last?
Obtura Spartan publish no figure and neither will we. Worth knowing is that a diamond tip stops cutting well before it looks worn, so judge it on how it is working rather than on how it looks.
