Maillefer Densfil FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)

  • Q: How does Densfil obturation differ from traditional root canal obturation?
  • A: Densfil provides a predictable three-dimensional fill.  The obturator consists of a solid core carrier coated with Alpha phase gutta-percha.
  • Q: What is a three-dimensional fill?
  • A: Warm gutta-percha flows to fill the canal, as well as lateral canals and accessory canals.
  • Q: How does Alpha phase gutta-percha differ from regular gutta-percha?
  • A: Alpha Phase gutta-percha becomes adhesive when heated.  This allows the thermoplasticized gutta-percha to flow freely.
  • Q: Why are the obturators available in plastic and titanium?
  • A: Both are available to give you a choice of obturators.  Post placement is simplified with plastic carriers.
