Endodontic root canal cappers are stainless steel instruments with a thin cone and a blunt tip that are used to press or force a guttapercha cone into the root canal. These endodontic plugs are employed in a variety of dental procedures, and are especially useful for filling the root canal with hot condensation. Professionals in the field also refer to them as “endodontic capacitors”.Dentsply Sirona offers the Lexicon line of endodontic plugs and separators to guarantee the efficient and effective application of guttapercha throughout the root canal system. This line of products is designed to provide maximum control and accuracy when placing the plug into the root canal.
