Gates Glidden Drills | 28mm | Size 04 | Pack of 6
Tax excluded.
Description
Gates Glidden Drills are precision stainless steel endodontic instruments used to widen and shape the coronal portion of the root canal during root canal therapy. With a length of 28mm and available in sizes 04, these drills are designed to provide precise canal flaring while preserving the integrity of the apical region.
Each pack includes 6 drills, making them suitable for multi-patient use and various clinical scenarios. Recommended for use at a rotary speed of 800-1200 RPM, these drills offer controlled cutting and optimal efficiency in root canal preparation.

Procedures
Gates Glidden Drills are commonly used during the preparation phase of root canal treatment to facilitate access and cleaning:
Initial canal cleaning: After creating the access cavity, the canal is irrigated and cleaned using hand files or rotary instruments to remove debris and establish patency.
Coronal flaring: Gates Glidden Drills are introduced to the canal at a recommended rotary speed of 800-1200 RPM to widen and shape the coronal portion of the root canal.
The larger coronal space allows for easier access to the apical portion during subsequent cleaning and shaping steps.
Progressive enlargement: Drills are used sequentially in size 04, and progressing to the larger sizes to achieve controlled flaring.
Post-space preparation (Optional): Gates Glidden Drills can also be used to create space for post-placement in restorative procedures following root canal therapy.
Final cleaning and shaping: After coronal flaring, smaller hand or rotary files are used to clean and shape the apical portion of the canal.
Key Benefits
Efficient coronal widening: Facilitates coronal flaring of the root canal, improving access to the apical third for thorough cleaning and shaping.
Controlled performance: Operates effectively within the recommended speed range (800-1200 RPM), reducing the risk of excessive cutting or perforation.
Stainless steel durability: Made from high-quality stainless steel, these drills provide excellent cutting efficiency, corrosion resistance, and durability.
Sequential sizing: Size 04 allows for controlled and progressive enlargement, minimizing the risk of over-preparation or canal damage.
Improved irrigation efficiency: Coronal flaring improves irrigation flow within the canal, ensuring more effective removal of debris and bacteria.
Post-space preparation: Versatility in applications, including creating post space for restorative procedures, enhances the utility of these drills.
Time-saving: Quickly and efficiently removes dentin from the coronal portion, reducing chair time and enhancing procedural workflow.
Ergonomic handling: Designed for easy use with rotary handpieces, ensuring precision and control during canal preparation.
Cost-effective: Each pack of 6 drills provides sufficient instruments for multiple cases, making it an economical choice for endodontic procedures.
