This pack: ProTaper Next® Paper Points, X2-X3 Assorted (Pack of 180)
Dentsply Sirona · legal manufacturer Dentsply DeTrey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany; UK representative Dentsply IH Ltd, Stonehouse (2025 IFU)
› Sized to the preparation. Dentsply Sirona: “Sized to fit all ProTaper Next-prepared canals.”
› Colour coded. Their own description: “Colour-coded absorbent points for easy recognition and convenience.” The codes follow the files.
› Sterile, in fives. “Sold in sterile packs of 180 (5 points in each cell)” – so a cell comes out for the case rather than the box being opened repeatedly.
› Drying is a step, not an afterthought. The IFU’s own last step before obturation is to dry with dedicated paper points and fill with dedicated gutta percha points.

Will they fit a canal shaped by another system?
They are cut to the ProTaper Next® shapes and that is all Dentsply Sirona claim for them. Match the point to the file that made the shape rather than to the ISO number alone.
Are they sterile?
Yes – Dentsply Sirona describe the boxes as sterile, five points to a cell. The gutta percha carries no sterility claim, and we do not make one for it.
What about the assorted boxes?
Every box holds 180 points. The single-size boxes are 180 of one size; the assorted boxes are 90 and 90.

› ProTaper Next® brochure (PDF, 2.0 MB, Dentsply Sirona) – the range brochure. Still the current revision – 01/2017, updated 11/2017
Pack contents are from Dentsply Sirona’s own ordering table: 180 points a box, and 90 of each size in the assorted boxes. Sterility is stated for the paper points and is not claimed for the gutta percha. No length or absorbency figures are published for these points, so none are given here.
