Description
Richmond Cotton Pellets are small, dense and consistent, which is exactly what a pellet has to be when it is carrying medicament into a root canal or covering an implant hex screw. They are made from 100% purified, medical grade cotton and earned a Best Products award in a Dental Product Shopper peer evaluation across six criteria. Four pellet sizes and five dispenser refill options cover the full Temple dispenser system.
- 100% Purified Cotton – medical grade cotton with no fillers, for dependable absorbency in tiny formats.
- Four Pellet Sizes – #1, #2, #3 and #4 sizes match canals and access openings of every scale.
- Dispenser Refills – assorted and single size refill boxes keep the Temple dispenser loaded.
- All Natural – the cotton is all natural and biodegradable.
Cotton Pellets for Endodontic and Restorative Work
A cotton pellet does precision work, absorbing fluids in a root canal, holding medicament against a preparation, or standing in for Teflon tape as a temporary filler. Pellets that shed fibers or collapse when wet make that work harder, so consistency is the point of this line. Each pellet is formed from 100% purified, medical grade cotton for firm, absorbent performance at very small sizes. Dental Product Shopper evaluators gave the pellets a Best Products award after scoring them across six evaluation criteria. The range covers sizes #1 through #4 in boxes of 2000 to 3000 pellets depending on size. Refill boxes for the Temple dispenser come assorted or in single sizes #1 through #4, and pellets also serve to cover hex screws during implant work.
