Elements Buchanan hand plugger for condensing gutta-percha. Pluggers are shaped to closely match the final root canal preparation. Featuring both a tapered NiTi end and a stainless steel end, Buchanan hand pluggers can be used in all common obturation techniques, including warm and cold condensation. The pluggers are also ideal for back-filling canals. The colour-coded NiTi end can be used for finishing condensation procedures, even in the most radically curved canals.
