Dental Paste Carriers for Endodontics

A dental paste carrier is a specialized endodontic instrument used for delivering and distributing root canal filling materials such as pastes, sealers, or medicaments within the canal system. These carriers, often made of stainless steel or flexible nickel-titanium (NiTi), feature a spiral or helical design that efficiently transports the paste deep into the canal while ensuring uniform distribution.

The Mani Root Canal Paste Carriers (25mm) available at WholeDent are designed for precise application, reducing waste and ensuring optimal root canal sealing. These instruments are used after canal preparation, allowing the clinician to introduce the sealing material while minimizing air pockets that could lead to reinfection.

Key Features of Paste Carriers:

• Efficient and controlled paste delivery
• Reduced risk of air entrapment
• Available in various lengths and diameters for different root canal sizes
• Ideal for use with gutta-percha and root canal sealers

Dental professionals have multiple techniques for filling root canals, including lateral and vertical condensation of gutta-percha, single-cone techniques, and thermoplastic obturation. Paste carriers offer a simplified approach by allowing direct placement of the sealing material without requiring extensive accessory instruments.

Advantages of Paste Carriers Over Other Methods:

• Time-Saving: Eliminates the need for multiple steps in the obturation process.
• Consistent Application: Ensures an even distribution of paste throughout the canal.
• Less Instrumentation Required: Compared to lateral condensation, which involves additional spreaders and compactors.
• Versatility: Can be used with various endodontic sealers and medicaments.

Limitations:

• Paste carriers work best when used in combination with other techniques, such as gutta-percha filling, to ensure proper canal sealing.

Some pastes might shrink or dissolve over time, so choosing a high-quality sealer is essential.

To ensure longevity and prevent cross-contamination, proper cleaning and sterilization of paste carriers are crucial.

Recommended Sterilization Steps:

1. Pre-Cleaning: Rinse the instrument immediately after use to remove residual paste.
2. Ultrasonic Cleaning: Use an enzymatic or mild detergent solution to remove debris.
3. Autoclaving: Steam sterilize at 134°C for at least 3–5 minutes to eliminate microbial contamination.
4. Storage: Keep the carrier in a sterile, dry environment to prevent contamination before next use.
