The Axis Dental NTI (NTI-Kerr) Gates Glidden Drills are specialized, high-quality rotary endodontic instruments designed for efficient and safe coronal flaring and initial shaping of the upper third of the root canal system. Manufactured under the NTI quality standards, these drills are essential for establishing straight-line access to the canal and removing restrictive dentin, a crucial step in preparing the tooth for successful root canal therapy.

Each drill in this package is the #2 size, which corresponds to a specific diameter at the tip, designed to create a consistent and predictable flare. The working length of the instrument is precisely measured at 19mm, ensuring adequate reach while maintaining control within the canal. Gates Glidden drills are characterized by their football-shaped cutting head and a non-cutting safety tip, which is engineered to follow the existing path of the canal without perforating the apical foramen.

The shank is designed to be intentionally weak, ensuring that if excessive stress is applied, the instrument will fracture high up near the handpiece connection rather than deep within the canal, simplifying retrieval. This design detail makes them the best NTI Gates Glidden Drills for balancing aggressive dentin removal with crucial safety features. They are designed for use in a slow-speed handpiece.

This set is provided in a package of 6 drills, offering practitioners a convenient and economical supply of these vital instruments. If you are searching for the best endodontic shaping instrument then the precision engineering, the non-cutting safety tip, and the strategically weak shank design of these drills, which maximize efficiency and minimize the risk of procedural complications, is best for you. Axis Dental delivers tools that consistently meet the rigorous demands of modern endodontics, supporting precise and predictable treatment outcomes.
