ACTIV -GP

Activ GP Precision Obturation System (Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA) is a new glass ionomer (GI )based obturation system. Inadequate bonding between GI and gutta percha  (GP) is a drawback with GI-based sealers . To enhance the GP-GI bonding, Activ GP has a 2 micrometre coating of GI particles on its surface; these particles-are also incorporated into the body of the cone.

The Activ GP System  is ISO sized and colored and is available in two types: a traditional design and an enhanced version (Activ GP Plus). Activ GP Plus uses calibration rings for easy depth measurement and a unique barrel handle which, when placed with an insertion instrument (transporter), facilitates easy placement into the canal .This Activ GP Obturation System delivers a true monobloc obturation result through a single-cone technique.Available in 0.4 and 0.6 percentage taper.
