TrueTooth #5 (02)
TrueTooth #5-002 has a large, uncalcified pulp chamber and relatively large canals. The lingual canal is nearly straight but has a slightly larger terminal diameter of .32 mm, making it a good TrueTooth to practice apical gauging and its importance to the apical accuracy of obturation procedures.
Sold in a pack of 5.

Instructions for Use
TrueTooth 3D printed teeth are the exact reproduction of internal and external anatomy of extracted teeth. TrueTooth teeth are created with special heat-resistant polymer, and proudly 3D printed in the USA. Special handling is necessary to realize the maximum benefits of using TrueTooth.
Access:
- Use handpieces at 1,000 RPM with no torque limit.
- Ultrasonics are not ideal, but work best when used wet.
Negotiation:
- Negotiate as normal using a lubricant.
Shaping:
- Use handpieces at normal RPM and torque settings.
Irrigation:
- Irrigate as normal using NaOCl in a syringe with a side-vent needle. TrueTooth canal tissue will dissolve after 40 minutes of irrigation, similar to vital teeth.
Obturation:
- Continuous Wave or other heated obturation techniques: use heat pluggers at 175 degrees Celsius.
- Carrier-based obturation: obturate as normal.
Radiographs:
- Use the shortest exposure time and the lowest KVP. After radiographing, lighten and sharpen image on screen for optimum viewing.
Helpful Tip:
- Use alcohol on outer surface of TrueTooth during procedure for optimum visibility. Alcohol can be used in place of NaOCl.
