Congratulations!
The ProSystem GT complete endodontic system you have decided to put
into practice is truly revolutionary.
An instructional DVD is included in your system purchase. Please
view this DVD, in addition to reading this booklet, to gain a complete
understanding of the system and the technique. If you would like to speak
with one of our staff clinicians, please call 1-800-662-1202, and we’ll
provide one-on-one assistance.
InDIcatIons For Use
For the removal of dentin, shaping and obturating of the root canal.
contraInDIcatIons
None.
WarnIngs
this product contains dry natural rubber.
rotary files are non-sterile products and must be sterilized
before use.
to prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose
the oven to moisture.
Do not remove the cover of the oven.
Do not use the oven near standing water. Dropping the
oven and/or motor into water may cause electric shock
turn off oven and unplug when not in use.
this oven is designed for use in a dental office. Do not use
in any other environment.
PrecaUtIons
As with all new products, you must exercise caution until you become
proficient in its use. While we have implemented safeguards against
possible misuse, there are several important points to remember:
1. A slow-speed handpiece is required for rotary file use.
2. Operate the handpiece at 300 RPM (revolutions per minute), or
500 RPM as directed for specific files.
3. Straight-line access is a prerequisite for proper endodontic treatment.
ProFile‚ GT files are no exception.
4. Always utilize minimal apical pressure. Don’t force the files down
the canal.
5. Clean file flutes frequently during instrumentation (after the file is
removed from the canal).

6. Frequently irrigate and lubricate the canal throughout the procedure.
7. Exercise caution in the apical area and around significant
curvatures.
8. Files are single use devices. They can become less efficient after
multiple uses causing undue stress to the file. This can lead to file
separation.
9. When instrumenting the canal, select appropriately sized
instruments as choosing an overly large file can lead to dangerous
over-enlargement of the coronal portion of narrow root forms.
Additionally, too large a file taken to length increases the risk of
separation.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove oven cover; there
are no user-serviceable parts inside.
11. This oven is intended for use in heating gutta-percha coated
obturators only. Do not insert anything other than an obturator into
the oven.
aDverse reactIons
Patients with latex sensitivity may experience allergic reactions to gutta-
percha, which contains dry natural rubber.

GT rotary instruments are used in a controlled, slow-speed rotary
handpiece, thus providing the reaming action that produces a quicker,
centered, tapered preparation, while maintaining good tactile sense. A
torque control motor, such as the one included in your system, should be
used.
Procedures for Using the Aseptico ITR Motor
These are the torque settings that work best with each file series. They are
given without guarantee of risk or fracture. To avoid separation, remember
torque control motors are not a substitute for proper technique.
