Ovo Dental Gutta Percha Point

OVO Dental Gutta-Percha Points serve UK general dental practices, specialist endodontic practices, and dental hospital endodontic departments performing primary and re-treatment root canal therapy. The full ISO size range (#15–40) plus F1–F5 ProTaper sizes covers the canal preparations created by virtually every file system in current UK clinical use, from manual K-files through to the latest rotary and reciprocating systems.

In primary root canal treatment using cold lateral compaction technique, the GP.02 master cone is selected to match the apical preparation, with secondary GP.02 cones used as accessory cones around the master after spreader use. The 28 mm length and ISO colour coding support consistent visual identification across single-rooted and multi-rooted teeth, reducing chair-time spent verifying cone sizes.

For single-cone obturation technique with greater-taper rotary preparation, GP.04 or GP.06 matched cones provide an apical seal with minimal accessory points needed. The ProTaper Type variants (F1–F5) take this further: the variable-taper geometry of the ProTaper cone mirrors the corresponding file's preparation, enabling true single-cone obturation with a thin sealer layer at the cone-dentine interface.

In specialist endodontic practice and re-treatment cases, the radiopacity of the points supports clear post-operative radiographic verification of obturation length, density, and three-dimensional fill. The cadmium-free and latex-free formulation suits patients with latex allergy and meets the materials-safety standards expected by NHS commissioned endodontic services and private specialist practices.

ISO 6877:2006 Compliance

The points are manufactured to ISO 6877:2006 specification with verified dimensional accuracy, taper tolerance, colour coding, and radiopacity. Compliance documentation is supplied by Medigear.uk for NHS and private procurement file requirements.

Three Taper Variants for All File Systems

GP.02 covers ISO hand and rotary files, GP.04-06 covers greater-taper rotary files, and GP ProTaper Type covers Dentsply ProTaper Universal, ProTaper Next, and ProTaper Gold file systems. One supplier covers the full range of preparation techniques used in UK dental practice.

Colour-Coded Visual Size Identification

The ISO colour scheme (yellow #20, red #25, blue #30, green #35, black #40) is bonded into the cone material and remains visible under operating light and after sodium-hypochlorite disinfection. Visual size identification reduces cone-selection error during obturation.

Radiopaque for Radiographic Verification

The points carry sufficient radiopacity for post-operative radiographic verification of obturation length and density. This supports the clinical audit standards expected in modern UK endodontic practice.

Optional Millimetre Marking

Practices using radiographic or apex-locator working-length determination can specify mm-marked points (+$0.40/pack) with marks at 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, and 24 mm for precise length-to-apex insertion.

Latex-Free and Cadmium-Free Formulation

The composition excludes natural rubber latex and cadmium, suiting patients with latex allergy and meeting modern restorative-materials safety standards.

One-Handed Sliding Drawer Box

Each pack ships in a sliding drawer box that opens with one-handed action at chair-side, supporting sterile workflows and faster cone selection during obturation.

CE Marked Class IIa Medical Device

The points carry CE marking as a Class IIa medical device with declarations of conformity and instructions-for-use supplied by Medigear.uk on delivery.

Five-Year Shelf Life

When stored sealed in original packaging at room temperature, the points carry a 5-year shelf life from date of manufacture, supporting stock-holding strategies in busy practices.

Material — Gutta-Percha with Zinc Oxide Filler

The composition is approximately 20% gutta-percha resin and 65% zinc oxide, with radiopacifiers and plasticisers. This formulation gives the rigidity-flexibility balance required for canal advancement and apical adaptation.

Length 28 mm ± 1 mm

Each cone is 28 mm long per ISO 6877:2006 specification, covering the working length of all permanent teeth from mandibular incisors to maxillary canines.

Tip Diameter Per ISO Coding

The tip diameter follows ISO sizing — #15 = 0.15 mm, #20 = 0.20 mm, #25 = 0.25 mm, and so on through #40 = 0.40 mm — with manufacturing tolerance within ISO 6877:2006 limits.

Taper Variants 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, ProTaper Type

GP.02 (0.02 taper, 120 pcs/box) for ISO files; GP.04 and GP.06 (0.04 and 0.06 taper, 60 pcs/box) for greater-taper rotary files; GP ProTaper Type (F1–F5, 60 pcs/box) for Dentsply ProTaper systems.

Colour Coding to ISO Endodontic Standard

White #15, yellow #20, red #25, blue #30, green #35, black #40 — bonded into the cone material for permanence under disinfection.

Optional Millimetre Marking

Marks at 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, and 24 mm for precise insertion to working length. Specified at order (+$0.40/pack).

Hand-Rolled Manufacturing

Each cone is hand-rolled rather than extruded, supporting consistent taper, smooth surface, and rounded tip geometry per ISO 6877:2006.

Radiopacity for X-Ray Verification

Radiopacity is sufficient to verify obturation length, density, and three-dimensional fill on post-operative periapical and bitewing radiographs.

Cadmium-Free

The formulation excludes cadmium as a heavy-metal radiopacifier, using alternative radiopacifiers compatible with modern materials-safety standards.

Latex-Free

The cones contain no natural rubber latex, suiting patients with latex allergy and contemporary cross-allergen protocols.

Sliding Drawer Box Packaging

Each pack ships in a sliding drawer box with one-handed open action for chair-side use during obturation.

Pieces per Box

GP.02: 120 pcs. GP.04-06: 60 pcs. GP ProTaper Type: 60 pcs. Mixed-size assorted packs available for the GP.02 range.

Suitable Obturation Techniques

Cold lateral compaction, cold single-cone, warm vertical compaction, and carrier-based obturation techniques are all supported.

Sealer Compatibility

Compatible with epoxy resin, zinc-oxide-eugenol, calcium silicate, and calcium hydroxide sealers across all major UK sealer brands.

Sterilisation Protocol

Soak in 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for one minute and dry on sterile compress before insertion. Do not autoclave — heat softens gutta-percha and destroys dimensional accuracy.

Five-Year Shelf Life

Five years from date of manufacture, stored sealed in original packaging at room temperature.

Manufacture Origin

Manufactured by OVO Dental for the UK market and distributed by Medigear.uk through a UK supply chain with batch traceability.
