Size 20 is the smallest diameter in the Therma-Kor obturator line, suited for narrow anterior canal preparations, fine mandibular incisor and first premolar canals, and any preparation where the finishing file size is ISO 20 and the carrier taper corresponds to the canal preparation's taper designation across the 04, 06, 08, and 10 taper options available in this size.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEndodontists and general practitioners performing warm carrier obturation in their root canal protocol who require the Size 20 carrier for narrow preparation cases find Therma-Kor the precision-coated, radiopaque plastic carrier obturator that delivers comparable three-dimensional fill performance to Soft-Core, Densfill, and Thermafill in their tightest canal preparations.\n?\nEach pack contains 6 individual Size 20 Therma-Kor plastic carrier obturators, each 25mm in length and manufactured to a new level of precision with consistent alpha-phase gutta-percha coating that provides accurate, even coverage across the carrier from tip to coronal stop. The 25mm standard length provides adequate carrier reach for the full working length range encountered in standard endodontic practice without excess carrier material above the access preparation that would require additional sectioning. Calibration rings on the carrier body allow the clinician to determine working length reference and verify the correct carrier size against the prepared canal at the fitting step before oven heating, reducing the risk of selecting an incorrectly sized carrier that would require replacement after the heating cycle.\n?\nTherma-Kor obturators work through the thermoplastic carrier obturation mechanism where the coated plastic carrier is heated in a compatible dental oven to the temperature that softens the alpha-phase gutta-percha coating to its thermoplastic flow state, after which the heated carrier is inserted directly into the prepared canal to working length.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlpha-phase gutta-percha in its heated flow state adapts intimately to the prepared canal wall anatomy including lateral canals, apical deltas, and anatomical irregularities that cold lateral condensation techniques cannot adequately fill, producing the three-dimensional obturation that carrier-based systems are specifically designed to achieve. Precise coating formulation provides a consistent gutta-percha layer thickness across the carrier surface that promotes easy cleanup of the carrier stub after sectioning at the canal orifice level, reducing the time and difficulty of post-obturation carrier stub removal at the access preparation. Compatible with all leading dental oven brands, including Dentsply, Kerr, and other standard endodontic heating units, the Therma-Kor carrier requires no proprietary oven for heating and fits into any existing carrier-based obturation workflow.\n?\nEndodontists performing warm carrier obturation as their primary obturation technique find Therma-Kor Size 20 provides the correctly dimensioned carrier for the narrow canal preparations at the lower end of the ISO size range where carrier selection accuracy directly impacts three-dimensional fill density at the apical third.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral practitioners who perform root canal treatment across a mixed difficulty caseload and use carrier-based obturation for their standard cases find the Size 20 format covers the narrow anterior canal preparation cases in their practice without requiring a separate obturation system for these indications.\n?\nFirst Choice Therma-Kor Thermoplastic Endo Obturators, Plastic Carrier, Size 20, 25mm give endodontic and general practices a precision-coated, significantly radiopaque, alpha-phase gutta-percha plastic carrier obturator in the Size 20 narrow preparation format compatible with all leading oven brands and both NiTi rotary and hand-filed canal preparations, with calibration rings for working length verification in a 6-pack format. For dental offices ordering thermoplastic obturator supplies for carrier-based obturation protocols, Therma-Kor Size 20 delivers the three-dimensional fill precision and carrier accuracy that narrow canal obturation requires.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlent Dental Products, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"25 mm \/ 20","offer_id":47373560316082,"sku":"XLE-46062520","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/7747\/2690\/files\/31359_main.webp?v=1777661603","url":"https:\/\/beyond.frontierdental.com\/products\/therma-kor-plastic-obturator-25mm-6-pk-20","provider":"Beyond","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
