Absorbent Paper Points for Reliable Canal Drying Before Fills

A canal that’s still damp when gutta percha is placed can end up with a compromised seal, so drying the canal thoroughly is one of the last steps before obturation. Paper points are made from absorbent material sized to match standard file dimensions, letting a clinician work out remaining moisture along the full length of the prepared canal before the final fill goes in.

3D Dental offers paper points in tapered, cell, and bulk packaging, giving practices flexibility in how they stock this everyday endodontic supply. Tapered points match the taper of the prepared canal for a snug, controlled fit, while cell and bulk packaging suit practices that go through larger volumes and want to avoid running low mid-procedure. Consistent sizing across the line means points correspond closely to the file sizes used to shape the canal.

What are paper points used for?
Paper points are used to dry a root canal thoroughly after it's been cleaned and shaped, removing moisture from the canal walls before gutta percha or another filling material is placed, helping the seal form as intended.
Why is drying the canal important before obturation?
Leftover moisture in the canal can interfere with how well the filling material seals and adapts to the canal walls, so thorough drying with paper points helps support a tighter, more predictable obturation with fewer voids along the canal walls.
What packaging options are available for paper points?
Paper points come in tapered, cell, and bulk packaging, so practices can choose individually tapered points for a precise fit, cell packs for organized everyday use, or bulk quantities for higher-volume endodontic schedules.
How does paper point size relate to file size?
Paper points are sized to correspond with standard file sizes, so once a canal is shaped to a specific file size, a matching paper point can be selected to fit and dry that canal effectively without over-instrumenting or leaving moisture behind.
Where can dental practices order paper points?
Paper points can be ordered through the 3D Dental website or an authorized distributor, with product pages listing available sizes and packaging so practices can restock tapered, cell, or bulk options as needed.
