HotShot: Cordless Obturation Delivery Device

HotShotDiscus 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?

    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…
