Precision Gates-Glidden drill in size #4 with 32 mm length for canal orifice enlargement and coronal flaring during endodontic procedures. This rotary instrument facilitates efficient canal preparation and improved irrigant penetration.

Specifications:

• Size: #4 (1.30 mm diameter at widest point)
• Length: 32 mm total length
• Material: Stainless steel construction
• Shank: Latch-type for low-speed handpiece
• Design: Flame-shaped cutting head with safety tip

Key Features:

• Teardrop-shaped cutting head for controlled enlargement
• Non-cutting safety tip to prevent perforation
• Short cutting blades for precise coronal shaping
• Standardized ISO sizing for predictable results
• Compatible with latch-type contra-angle handpieces
• Color-coded for easy size identification

Applications:

• Canal orifice enlargement for improved access
• Coronal flaring during canal preparation
• Post space preparation in endodontically treated teeth
• Removal of gutta-percha from coronal canal thirds
• Creating straight-line access to apical third

Clinical Benefits:

• Improves irrigant flow and debris removal
• Facilitates easier file insertion and manipulation
• Reduces coronal interferences during instrumentation
• Enhances visualization of canal anatomy
• Supports more efficient endodontic workflows

Usage Guidelines:

• Use at low speed (300-1200 RPM) with light pressure
• Apply in brushing motion moving outward from canal
• Avoid excessive apical pressure to prevent strip perforation
• Progress sequentially from smaller to larger sizes
• Sterilize between uses per standard protocols

Essential endodontic instrument for dental professionals performing root canal therapy. Gates-Glidden drills #4 provide controlled, efficient canal shaping for improved treatment outcomes.
