The ProTaper Upgrade: ProTaper Turns to Gold

ProTaper Gold is the latest addition to the world famous ProTaper family developed by Dentsply Sirona Endodontics (previously known as Dentsply Maillefer) in collaboration with international endodontic key opinion leaders.

The ProTaper Gold solution has been produced for our ProTaper users who do not want to change their technique to the ProTaper Next or WaveOne Gold offerings.

ProTaper Gold is an upgrade from ProTaper Universal, keeping the same philosophy and technique as the first generation of ProTaper but with strong additional benefits such as extended flexibility and greater resistance to cyclic fatigue.

ProTaper Gold - the same ProTaper Philosophy

• Same sequence of shapers and finishers.
• Same rotary motion (Compatibility X-Smart, X-Smart Plus, X-Smart iQ).
• A complete solution with dedicated obturation products, including new variable tapered gutta-percha points specially moulded to fit canals prepared with ProTaper Gold™ files.

ProTaper Gold™ - Strong Additional Benefits

• Covers a wider range of canal morphologies thanks to:

o Higher flexibility (new metallurgy): +24% on average vs. ProTaper Universal files.
o Increased memory shape and flexibility on all files.

• Reinforced safety for the patient thanks to:

o Higher cyclic fatigue resistance: ProTaper Gold F3 file lasts x2.6 times longer than a ProTaper Universal F3 file. On average, all files last x2.4 times longer than ProTaper Universal files.

• No new shaping technique to learn, simply a better tool to do it with.

 

By the end of the year we aim to have all new orders for ProTaper Universal switched to ProTaper Gold.
