ProTaper Gold

Efficient. Flexible. Brilliant.

ProTaper Gold features the same simplicity, smoothly tapered shapes and predictable performance you know and trust from ProTaper Universal. Now the ProTaper legacy continues with ProTaper Gold. Developed with proprietary advanced metallurgy, these rotary files deliver greater flexibility for predictable ProTaper performance that’s more brilliant than ever.

  • Developed by specialists, ProTaper Gold features a patented, progressively tapered design which serves to significantly improve cutting efficiency and safety.1
  • Its convex triangular cross-section enhances cutting action while decreasing rotational friction between the blade of the file and dentin.2
  • The non-cutting tip design allows each instrument to safely follow the secured portion of the canal while the small flat area on the tip enhances its ability to find its way through soft tissue and debris.3

The ProTaper Gold technique includes a series of shaping and finishing files that create the predictable ProTaper shape, and a system proven by science and trusted by clinicians throughout the world.
