Quality Precision Instruments
From access to obturation, Dentsply Sirona delivers quality precision instruments and meaningful innovation in endodontics. Our line of Gates Glidden Drills is one piece of this comprehensive offering.
Gates Glidden Drills widen and taper the root canal orifice. They are designed for bulk removal of tooth structure, delivering high-cutting capability and easy application. The low-price Glidden drills are an economical alternative to rotary nickel-titanium files.
Featuring a blunt tip to prevent perforation, they use a brushing motion to achieve the desired shape. The drill bits are compatible with any right-angle latch handpiece and typically come in lengths of 28 mm, 32 mm, or 38 mm. A range of six sizes allow the clinician to sequentially use the drills to achieve the appropriate taper and avoid excessive dentin removal.
