Description
Product Overview
The #7 Push Glazier Points by Fletcher are a specialized component of endodontic kits, crafted to meet the exacting standards of modern dental practice. Each point is fabricated from high‑grade zinc that has been meticulously coated to provide a smooth, corrosion‑resistant surface. The silver finish not only adds a professional aesthetic but also enhances visibility during placement, reducing the chance of misalignment. Measuring approximately 3 inches wide by 1 inch high, the points are sized to fit comfortably within standard endodontic trays and are supplied in a convenient carded package of ten pieces. The round opening shape allows for seamless insertion into prepared canals, while the lightweight design—just over half an ounce per point—ensures ease of handling without sacrificing structural integrity. The product carries the reputable Fletcher‑Terry Co. brand, known for reliable dental instruments, and holds a best‑seller rank within the Endodontic Points sub‑category, reflecting its popularity among clinicians. Designed for repeatable, consistent performance, these points are ideal for both routine procedures and more complex restorative cases where precision and durability are paramount.
Usage
In clinical settings, the #7 Push Glazier Points are employed during the sealing phase of root‑canal therapy. After the canal has been shaped and cleaned, the practitioner selects the appropriate point size—#7 in this case—and uses a putty knife or similar instrument to gently push the point into the canal until it seats securely. The zinc coating provides a tactile feedback that signals proper placement, while the silver finish allows the dentist to visually confirm that the point is fully seated. Because the points are pre‑rounded, they glide smoothly, minimizing the risk of creating micro‑fractures in the dentin. The carded packaging keeps each point protected from contamination and damage until the moment of use, ensuring sterility and consistency across multiple patients. These points are compatible with a wide range of endodontic sealers and can be used in both single‑visit and multi‑visit treatment protocols. Their lightweight nature reduces hand fatigue during lengthy procedures, and the reliable material composition means they maintain their shape even after repeated sterilization cycles.

FAQ
What size is the #7 Push Glazier Point and how does it compare to other sizes?
The #7 point measures approximately 3 inches in width and 1 inch in height, making it suitable for medium‑to‑large endodontic canals. Compared to smaller sizes, the #7 offers greater bulk for enhanced sealing in wider canals, while still fitting comfortably within standard trays. Its dimensions are calibrated to provide optimal balance between strength and flexibility, ensuring it can be pushed into place without excessive force.
Can these points be sterilized and reused?
Yes, the zinc core and silver coating are designed to withstand standard autoclave cycles. The material retains its shape and coating integrity after multiple sterilizations, allowing you to reuse points safely. However, for best clinical outcomes, many practitioners prefer to use a fresh point for each patient to maintain maximum sterility and performance.
What type of sealers work best with the #7 Push Glazier Points?
The points are compatible with a broad range of endodontic sealers, including epoxy‑based, calcium‑hydroxide, and bioceramic formulations. The smooth zinc surface promotes even sealer distribution, and the silver finish enhances radiographic visibility, helping you confirm proper sealer placement during post‑operative imaging.
Is the product suitable for use in pediatric dentistry?
While the #7 size is generally intended for adult canals, the gentle push‑in technique and smooth coating make it adaptable for select pediatric cases where canal dimensions are appropriate. Always assess the specific anatomy of the tooth before selection to ensure optimal fit and comfort for younger patients.
How does the carded packaging improve workflow in a busy practice?
The carded set keeps each point individually protected, reducing the risk of contamination and damage during storage. It also allows quick identification and retrieval, streamlining the preparation phase of endodontic procedures. The compact packaging fits easily into standard instrument trays, saving valuable cabinet space and supporting efficient inventory management.
