Endodontic Instruments
BusinessMed® Endodontic Instruments are the hand instruments of root canal treatment, grouped by the step they serve: rubber dam clamps, punches, forceps and frames to isolate the tooth; excavators and endodontic explorers to open the pulp chamber and find the canals; rulers to measure; pluggers and spreaders to fill the canal; and fragment forceps for retreatment.

Types of endodontic instruments
Isolation: rubber dam instruments
- Rubber Dam Clamps — winged and wingless clamps that anchor the dam on one tooth; start here for the largest group.
- Rubber Dam Punches & Forceps — punches that cut the sheet and forceps that seat and remove the clamp.
- Rubber Dam Frames — holds the sheet outside the mouth once it is placed.
Access and canal location
- Dental Spoon Excavators — long-shank spoon excavators for pulp chamber debridement.
- Endodontic Explorers — DG16 canal locators and Abou-Rass apical instruments; not for general caries detection.
Measuring
- Endodontic Rulers — a finger ring endo ruler for setting file stops and a flat stainless steel ruler.
Obturation
- Root Canal Pluggers — vertical condensation of softened gutta-percha.
- Root Canal Spreaders — lateral condensation with accessory cones.
Retreatment and retrieval
- Root Tip Forceps — root fragment and Stieglitz forceps for root tips, file pieces and silver points.
Sets
- Endodontic Sets — an endodontic set, a rubber dam set and a clamp set.
How to choose endodontic instruments
- By step, not by catalog page. Build the tray in treatment order — isolation, access, measuring, obturation — so no step is missing.
- Obturation technique. Vertical condensation needs pluggers; lateral condensation needs spreaders.
- Conventional or surgical. DG16 explorers serve conventional root canal treatment; Abou-Rass instruments serve apical surgery.
- Sets or single instruments. Endodontic sets group a procedure; single root canal instruments and root canal tools replace or extend them.
What are endodontic instruments used for?
Root canal treatment and retreatment: rubber dam isolation, pulp chamber debridement, locating canal orifices, measuring working length, filling the canal by vertical or lateral condensation, removing separated instruments and old fillings, and apical surgery.
How BusinessMed endodontic instruments are made
German stainless steel with a satin, non-reflective finish; reusable, autoclavable and covered by a 5-year warranty. Endodontic tools and endo instruments of this kind go through sterilization with the rest of the tray.
