2001 • PHILIPPE SLEIMAN • SLEIMAN ENDO PLUGGER
Understanding that the use of conventional cylindrical pluggers in obturation has become much less efficient given the spread of continuously tapered root canals following machined preparations. An idea was born to create pluggers that would mimic the conical shape and allow to distribute hydraulic effort more precisely, rapidly, and predictably both in lateral condensation and warm vertical compaction techniques. With the help of Hu-Friedy‘s brilliant R&D team the new obturation kit was developed, replacing three to four conventional pluggers with one Sleiman plugger thanks to the tapered 5 mm of the active tip.
