Calamus Downpack: Continuous Wave Technique
1. Activate the Calamus
of the orifice.
2. Select the larger size, prefit Calamus
working end around the circumference of the canal using short, firm
strokes to move gutta-percha apically, clean the canal walls and
flatten the material.
3. Use this larger Calamus
compact warm gutta-percha vertically and laterally into this region of
the root canal system (First Wave of Condensation).
4. Activate the Calamus
motion, firmly press the heated plugger through the thermosoftened
gutta-percha until the silicone stop is 2 mm from the reference point.
This procedure must be limited to 2 to 3 seconds to prevent thermal
injury.
5. Deactivate the Calamus
pressure on the cooling instrument until the silicone stop reaches the
reference point.
6. Maintain firm apical pressure for 10 seconds to compact the mass of
warn gutta-percha into the apical one-third of the root canal system
and to offset shrinkage during the cooling phase.
7. Activate the Calamus
the plugger from the root canal using a back and forth motion. This
procedure separates and removes gutta-percha from the coronal
two-thirds of the canal without disturbing the gutta-percha in the
apical one-third.
8. Select the small size, prefit Calamus
working end around the circumference of the canal using short, firm
strokes to clean the canal walls and re-condense the most coronal
aspect of the gutta-percha within the apical one-third.
9. Select the Calamus
canal.
