to obtain a compact and accurate filing is a decided advantage in the prevention of numbers).  Warm gutta percha vertical compaction method is used, then thermopact device is adapted with a heat carrier. The temperature is set and maintained at 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to heat the gutta percha from Beta solid phase through α plasticized phase to the γ amorphilic phase.

WARM VERTICAL CONDENSATION METHOD:  Touch ‘n’ heat  System B The touch ‘n’ heat unit is used with the Schilder’s technique.

The touch ‘n’ heat 5003 is an electronic device, especially developed for the warm vertical compaction of gutta percha.

Battery/AC models are available. It exhibits the same thermal properties as the original heat carrier used by Schilder in 1967 but has the advantage of generating heat automatically at the top of the instrument. The instrument is capable of providing a range of high temperatures
