Endo Arch Endo Gauge / Gutta Percha Gauge / Endo-Calibrator / Gutta Percha Measuring Ruler

An Endo Calibrator, also known as a Gutta Percha Gauge or Endo Gauge, is a dental instrument used in endodontics to measure the working length of root canal instruments like files and reamers. It also adjusts the tip of the Gutta Percha to the apical diameter prepared in the canal during root canal treatment.(Endo Arch Gutta Percha Gauge Measuring Ruler)

This instrument typically consists of a slotted plate showing various apical diameters, where the tip of the Gutta Percha can be inserted and adjusted according to the apical preparation of the canal. Additionally, it features a scale with mm markings to measure canal length accurately with the help of Endodontic Files.

The primary function of an Endo Gauge is to ensure that the tip of the Gutta Percha is correctly adjusted before it is used for obturating the canal. This precision is essential for achieving accurate filling, preventing under- or over-obturation, which can affect the outcome and potentially harm surrounding tissues.
