HotShot: Cordless Obturation Delivery Device
Discus Dental has come out with a new delivery system for warm gutta-percha called the HotShot. The temperature of the gutta-percha can be set up to 230 degrees Centigrade. It has the advantage of being cordless. This is supposed to be used for a backfill. Has anybody tried this and if so, how did it work? What did you do to fill the apical area before you used the backfill?

Got something to say?


You always need a heat source to secure an apical plug so that you don’t blow out the apex.
We recommend System B (used by most endododontist).
If not, we have the Elements Obturation Unit which performs both functions (seal apex and backfill)
Hope this helps…
