SoftCore® Obturator

A safe and effective root filling system with natural gutta-percha

As the only two obturators on the market, the SoftCore® and OneStep® products are made with natural gutta-percha, a material that has been used for root filling for well over 100 years.  Natural gutta-percha remains “the golden standard” for root canal filling.

SoftCore® Endodontic Obturator

A safe and effective root canal filling system.

Root filling with SoftCore® is easy and provides a perfect apical seal.

SoftCore® can be used for root canal fillings instrumented with traditional hand files as well as with all known rotary file systems on the market.

How the system works

The SoftCore® obturator consists in all its simplicity of a radiopaque plastic core surrounded by natural thermoplastic gutta-percha. The plastic core is available in ISO sizes # 20-60.

The obturator is heated in the SoftCore® oven, plasticizing the outer layer of gutta-percha.

The plastic core remains firm but flexible and therefore easily follows the curvature of the root canal.

It is a quick, easy and safe method to create a dense root filling.

Why is that?

Because the solid core ensures that gutta-percha reaches the apex.

That a certain lateral pressure is applied, forcing the gutta-percha into side channels and outcrops. 

3 good reasons to choose SoftCore®

Fast

Heating an obturator takes 1 minute.

It takes 5-10 seconds to insert an obturator into the root canal.

Easy 

You have set the rubber stopper to the working length before placing it in the oven. Now it just needs to be inserted. Once the gutta-percha has hardened (it takes 4-5 minutes) remove the handle. The rest of the core remains in the root canal.

Safe  

Over 20 million root fillings have been made with Soft-Core®, which has proven to be a quality product.

CMS Dental started in the 1990s to produce end products

Natural Gutta Percha is the raw material approved for use in root canal filling of teeth and it has proven to be the optimal material for root canal filling.

Natur Gutta Percha has been used for more than 100 years for root canal filling of teeth.

Every year, 1 million root fillings are performed with Soft-Core worldwide.

Important info about root canal filling

Before you root fill a tooth, you need to make sure that the root canal is free of bacteria.

CMS Dental has therefore developed a treatment concept to eliminate bacteria in the root canal, called LAD (Light-activated disinfection), and consists of a light source and a photosensitizer. The light activates the photosensitizer, which produces reactive oxygen that kills microbes in the root canal in milliseconds. Where light can penetrate and activate the photosensitizer, the method is highly effective and without side effects.
