Fortec Dental Instruments • Pluggers – Double Ended

Double-Ended Dental Pluggers – Dual-Tip Stainless Steel Instruments for Faster, More Flexible Gutta-Percha Compaction

At Fortec International, our Double-Ended Dental Pluggers are manufactured from high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel with two precision-calibrated working tips in a single 21cm instrument — giving clinicians two complementary plugger sizes without switching tools. Whether compacting at the apical, mid-canal, or coronal level, the dual-tip design streamlines the obturation workflow, reduces instrument exchanges, and keeps the filling process efficient and uninterrupted. Available in three size-pair configurations — 1/3, 5/7, and 9/11 — all at $19.99 each — fully autoclavable, CE, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and FDA certified, and trusted by dental professionals across Canada.

Why Choose Fortec Double-Ended Pluggers

Fortec double-ended pluggers are designed for clinicians who value efficiency and flexibility during root canal obturation. By combining two calibrated plugger sizes in one instrument, the double-ended design eliminates the need to pick up and put down separate tools during compaction — allowing the clinician to move seamlessly between tip sizes for apical and coronal condensation without interrupting the workflow or losing tactile control of the filling material.

Two precision-calibrated working tips per instrument — each end carries a different plugger size, allowing clinicians to access two compaction diameters from a single handle without a tool change during obturation.
Smooth, tapered tip geometry on both ends for accurate vertical compaction of gutta-percha at different canal levels, creating a dense, void-free fill from apex to coronal access.
Balanced 21cm instrument length that provides comfortable reach and steady control in both anterior and posterior access cavities, with the centrally weighted handle distributing tip pressure evenly.
Polished stainless steel construction that prevents gutta-percha adhesion during condensation, allowing clean insertion and withdrawal at both ends without disturbing the compacted fill.
Fully autoclavable for safe, long-term clinical reuse — maintains tip calibration and surface integrity through repeated high-temperature sterilization cycles without corrosion or dimensional change.

Three Size-Pair Configurations – 1/3, 5/7 & 9/11

Our Double-Ended Pluggers collection offers 3 in-stock configurations at $19.99 each, all in a uniform 21cm working length. The 1/3 Plugger pairs the two smallest tip sizes for fine apical compaction in narrow canals. The 5/7 Plugger covers the mid-range sizes used most frequently across standard canal anatomies. The 9/11 Plugger pairs the two largest tip sizes for broad coronal and mid-canal condensation in posterior and wide-diameter canals — together, the three instruments cover the full compaction range from apex to access cavity opening.

Every double-ended plugger is individually inspected for tip diameter accuracy on both ends, handle balance, and surface finish quality before leaving our facility — backed by Fortec's full warranty against defects in material and workmanship, and sterilization-safe through standard steam autoclave cycles without loss of tip geometry or handle integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Fortec's periodontal chisels — models, clinical use, materials, sharpening, and care.

01 What periodontal chisels does Fortec carry and how many models are available?

Fortec currently carries 5 periodontal chisel models in its Periodontal collection, all in stock: the 36/37 Rhodes Back-Action Chisel, the 1/2 Kramer-Nevis Chisel, the 62 Cushing Chisel Scaler, the 62 Cushing Chisel Scaler / Jacquette H4, and the 44/45 Remington Hoe. Each instrument is designed for a specific role in supragingival and subgingival calculus removal, interdental debridement, and root surface scaling — covering a wide range of periodontal treatment needs at very accessible price points.

02 What is the 36/37 Rhodes Back-Action Chisel used for in periodontal therapy?

The 36/37 Rhodes Back-Action Chisel ($21.99) features a unique back-action blade design where the cutting edge faces toward the clinician rather than away — allowing it to be used with a pull stroke rather than a push stroke. This makes it particularly effective for removing tenacious supragingival and subgingival calculus deposits from the proximal and interproximal surfaces of anterior and posterior teeth, especially in areas where a standard push-stroke chisel cannot be positioned safely. The paired 36/37 configuration provides mirror-image angles for working on both mesial and distal surfaces with equal efficiency.

03 What is the 1/2 Kramer-Nevis Chisel and when is it used?

The 1/2 Kramer-Nevis Chisel ($21.99) is a classic straight-blade periodontal chisel used primarily for removing heavy calculus deposits from the facial and lingual surfaces of anterior teeth with a firm push stroke. Its straight, bevelled cutting edge engages calculus at the cervical margin and dislodges it efficiently without excessive lateral pressure on the root surface. The paired 1 and 2 ends are mirror images, making the instrument equally suited to working from the labial and lingual approaches. It is one of the most traditional periodontal chisel designs and remains a staple instrument in scaling trays for anterior debridement.

04 What is the difference between the 62 Cushing Chisel Scaler and the 62 Cushing Chisel Scaler / Jacquette H4?

The 62 Cushing Chisel Scaler ($23.99) is a single-purpose instrument featuring a chisel-style blade designed for supragingival calculus removal and interproximal scaling with a push or pull stroke depending on the access angle. The 62 Cushing Chisel Scaler / Jacquette H4 ($28.99) is a dual-function upgrade — it combines the 62 Cushing chisel blade on one end with a Jacquette H4 sickle scaler tip on the other end. The Jacquette H4 is a fine-pointed sickle design especially suited to removing light to moderate supragingival deposits and burnished calculus in tight contact areas. The combined instrument gives two complementary scaling tools in one handle, reducing tray complexity for clinicians who use both designs regularly.

05 What is the 44/45 Remington Hoe and how does it differ from a standard chisel?

The 44/45 Remington Hoe ($21.99) is a periodontal hoe scaler rather than a true chisel — its blade is bent at approximately 99–100° to the shank, with the cutting edge facing toward the clinician for use with an exclusively pull stroke. This geometry allows the hoe to engage the root surface below the gumline and pull calculus coronally in a scraping motion, making it effective for removing tenacious subgingival deposits from the facial, lingual, and proximal surfaces in both anterior and posterior sextants. The paired 44 and 45 ends have opposing blade angles to access different tooth surfaces without repositioning the patient or switching instruments.

06 How do periodontal chisels compare to curettes — when should I use each?

Periodontal chisels and hoes are designed primarily for removing heavy, tenacious supragingival calculus in accessible areas — particularly interproximal deposits on anterior teeth and facial or lingual deposits where direct push or pull access is possible. Their rigid, single-bevelled blades deliver firm, direct force to dislodge calculus in one stroke. Curettes, by contrast, have a rounded toe and two cutting edges, making them suitable for subgingival scaling and root planing around the full circumference of the tooth, including in deep pockets and furcation areas where chisels cannot safely reach. In practice, chisels are used first to break down large deposits, and curettes are then used to refine and smooth the root surface.

07 What material are Fortec periodontal chisels made from and how sharp are the blades?

All Fortec periodontal chisels are manufactured from high-grade, heat-treated stainless steel that combines corrosion resistance with the hardness required to hold a sharp cutting edge through extended clinical use. The blades are precision-ground and factory-sharpened to an acute bevel angle that allows efficient calculus removal with controlled force. The steel formulation is selected to support resharpening — clinicians can maintain blade acuity using standard sharpening stones between sterilization cycles, extending the working life of each instrument significantly. Every instrument is individually inspected before dispatch to confirm edge sharpness, tip geometry, and surface finish quality.

08 Are Fortec periodontal chisels autoclavable and suitable for long-term reuse?

Yes. All five instruments in the Periodontal Chisels collection are fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization and are designed for long-term clinical reuse. The heat-treated stainless steel resists corrosion, surface pitting, and blade warping through repeated sterilization cycles. To maximise instrument lifespan, rinse chisels with clean water immediately after each use to prevent calculus residue and biofilm from drying on the blade, avoid harsh bleach-based cleaners that accelerate surface corrosion, and periodically resharpen the blade edge using an appropriate sharpening stone. Full care and maintenance protocols are available in Fortec's Instruments Care and Maintenance Care guides.

09 What certifications do Fortec periodontal chisels hold?

Fortec periodontal chisels are certified to four major quality and regulatory standards: CE Certified (European conformity for medical devices), ISO 9001 (quality management systems), ISO 13485 (medical device quality management), and FDA Compliant (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). These certifications confirm that every instrument is manufactured under a controlled, audited process and meets strict safety, hygiene, and performance requirements for clinical use in periodontal treatment settings across Canada, the United States, and internationally.
