Unicore Drill: Easily Remove Thermafil?

unicore.jpg

I really love the Thermafil gutta-percha carriers from Tulsa Dental. Since I started using that system, my success rate has increased dramatically.

The only problem I have had, though, is drilling out the post space. I have had a lot of trouble doing this and I am always worried about perforating the root canal wall. Also, I often feel my bur being deflected by the Thermafil central plastic carrier rod.

Ultradent has a fiber post and drill system called UniCore. Ultradent claims that their new drill will easily remove the Thermafil carrier. Has anybody tried this drill and does it work?

According to Ultradent:

“The UniCore drill represents the pinnacle of engineering and design for post drills. Comprised of durable materials and innovative, one-of-a-kind features, the UniCore drill is the the finest, most refined drill available.

The UniCore drill can be used up to 15 times to remove Thermafil, gutta percha, or composite from canals, or it can remove up to 5 pre-existing fiber posts. No other drill is as efficient in removing obturators while also preparing a post chamber that is perfectly suited to a corresponding post.”

    I’ve tried it a time or two and it has worked for me.

Got something to say?
