1 Glick Blade Root Canal Plugger
1 Glick Blade Root Canal Plugger combines a 1.10 mm flat plugger tip and a Glick blade for efficient condensation and trim-off of gutta-percha in a single instrument.
Key Features:
• Double-ended design with 1.10 mm blunt plugger tip and flat Glick blade
• Plugger end provides vertical condensation of gutta-percha in apical and middle thirds
• Glick blade end trims excess gutta-percha at the canal orifice cleanly
• Round, ringed knurled handle for secure, low-fatigue pen grasp
• Overall length 165 mm (6.5 in) with mid-handle balance for controlled strokes
• Stainless steel construction, corrosion-resistant and autoclavable
• Plugger face ensures uniform compaction without over-penetration
• Glick blade compatible with heat source for precise coronal cut
• Eliminates instrument exchange between condensation and trim-off phases
• Suitable for single and multi-rooted teeth during lateral or vertical obturation
The 1 Glick Blade Root Canal Plugger (Article# LS1-190) is a double-ended endodontic instrument combining two functionally distinct working ends — a 1.10 mm diameter blunt plugger tip on one end and a flat Glick blade on the other. The plugger end carries a flat circular face for vertical condensation of gutta-percha into the canal, while the blade end features a thin flat-profile cutting edge for severing excess gutta-percha at the canal orifice. The round ringed knurled handle is machined from French surgical-grade stainless steel, measuring 165 mm (6.5 inches) overall, with the balance point centered at mid-handle throughout active obturation strokes.
The combination of plugger and blade on a single instrument eliminates the tray exchange between compaction and trim-off phases of the obturation sequence. The 1.10 mm plugger diameter suits standard apical preparations in anterior and small posterior canals, applying controlled vertical condensation force without over-penetrating the canal terminus. The Glick 1 blade end heats easily on a flame or heated instrument and severs the gutta-percha cone cleanly at the coronal level after compaction is complete.
Endodontists and general dentists use the 1 Glick Blade Root Canal Plugger during cold lateral condensation and warm vertical obturation techniques on single and multi-rooted teeth. The plugger end compacts filling material apically with short vertical strokes during obturation, while the 1 Glick Blade Root Canal Plugger blade end trims gutta-percha at the orifice after the final compaction stroke, completing both steps in one instrument exchange sequence.
Leader Surgical sets a consistent standard in endodontic instrumentation — producing tools that surgeons select by design, not by default, because the geometry holds exactly where it matters.
How does it differ from an endodontic spreader?
A plugger has a flat or blunted tip used for packing material vertically. In contrast, a spreader has a pointed tip and is used for lateral compaction to create space for accessory cones.
