YORK, Pennsylvania--Miltex Inc. has announced the release of its new line of patented Marked Gutta Percha and Paper Points.

The Miltex Marked Gutta Percha have millimeter markings on the cones that aid clinicians in identifying how deep in the canal the gutta percha is placed during the obturation procedure. Each radiopaque and cadmium-free gutta percha cone is marked at 19, 21, 23 and 25 millimeters from the tip.

The gutta percha cones are hand-rolled with precision to ensure proper ISO specifications are met. They are available in .02, .04 and .06 tapers in tip sizes from 15 to 140. Accessory points are also available unmarked. All gutta percha is sold in easy-to-dispense plastic trays in counts from 60 to 120 and has a 4 year shelf life.

Miltex paper points are made from a super-absorbent material that maximizes canal cleaning while minimizing residual fibers in the canal that can cause root canal failure and patient sensitivity. The paper points are sold in easy-to-dispense plastic trays in counts from 180 to 200 and has a 3 year shelf life.

Miltex is one of the leading manufacturers of hand-held surgical and dental instruments sold through authorized distributors to the health care market.
