Operating the Heater
1. Pre-heat the heater.
2. Place 1 to 4 obturators in the slots in the
obturator rest.
TIP: Place the first obturator to be used in
slot #1, the second in slot #2 etc.
3. Press the timer activation button to
plasticize all of the obturators. The timer
will chime and the timer status light will
turn red to indicate that the time cycle has begun. It is not necessary to
re-activate the timer or re-plasticize the obturators once they have
been heated, unless a new obturator is added. The heater will keep
them at the appropriate temperature for up to 30 minutes.
4. Once the oven sounds a long chime and the timer status light is green,
the obturator(s) is ready for use. To prevent using an unheated obturator,
Soft-Core recommends using the heated ones prior to adding additional
obturators to the heater. If it is necessary to add another obturator,
re-activate the timer and do not use until the timer chimes,
RE-ACTIVATING THE TIMER WILL NOT HARM THE OBTURATORS.
5. Once all the needed obturators have been used, remove and dispose
of the unused obturators.
6. If the heater is going to be used again on the same day, it should remain
on between procedures.
Service and Repair
The Soft-Core heater is covered by a 1-year warranty.
CAUTION: The Soft-Core heater must only be serviced and repaired by
your Soft-Core distributor, otherwise the warranty will be void.
Cleaning
Cleaning the unit after each procedure is recommended.
1. Unplug the heater and remove the obturator rest by
rotating it counter-clockwise. The obturator rest can then
be cleaned using a damp cloth with a disinfectant. This
should be done after each procedure.
2. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the outside of the heater
with a disinfectant. Do not spray or wipe down the inside
of the heater.
3. Once the heater and obturator have cooled, any gutta
percha on the heating chamber, ceramic elements or on
the rest can be removed with a dull instrument.

General precautions
• The product should only be used by dentists.
• The product should only be used for root canal procedures
in teeth.
• A deformed or defective product should never be used, but
should be discarded.
• The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility and liability for
injury or damage to persons or property caused by faulty and/
or inappropriate use. For information on the correct use of the
product please see the step-by-step guide, section 2.
• The product should be stored in the original packing.
Warning – Use of a heated obturator
• After heating the gutta percha is hot. Avoid any direct contact
between the obturator and skin or mucous membranes. The
obturator should be inserted directly into the root canal.
• It is always recommended to take a control x-ray. If the x-ray
is not satisfactory, take another x-ray from a different angle. If
the filling still cannot be satisfactorily documented, remove the
obturator.

The Soft-Core Endodontic Obturator
A Soft-Core Endodontic Obturator is a core of biocompatible plastic, sized
according to ISO standards sizes 20 to 60, coated with thermoplastic gutta
percha. The obturator sizes correspond to the ISO standards of root canal
files. A single obturator is all that is needed to totally obturate a root canal.
The result will always be a perfectly placed root canal filling with a tight
apical seal.

A Soft-Core Endodontic Obturator consists of three parts:
1. Plastic handle with a metal insertion pin
The injection molded plastic handle is color-coded ac-
cording to the size of the obturator. The stainless steel
insertion pin is 9 mm long, and is permanently attached to
the plastic handle. The hollow portion of the plastic core
surrounds 6 mm of the pin.
2. Outer layer of thermoplastic Natural GP™ gutta
percha
The gutta percha is reversible thermoplastic. This means
that it becomes soft and highly adhesive when heated to
temperatures above approx. 100°C. When cooled it re-
turns to a firm rigid state. Another heating will once again
make the gutta percha soft and adhesive.
3. Plastic core with endo stop
The tapered plastic core is sufficiently flexible to negotiate
curved canals.
The Soft-Core plastic core is slightly oval-shaped. This
secures adequate backflow of the heated gutta percha.
The length of the core is 24 mm. The coronal 6 mm of the
core is hollow to accommodate the metal insertion pin.
A rubber endo stop is provided to indicate the working
distance measurement. The plastic core and gutta percha
are radiopaque.
