FEATURES
- Made of high quality medical stainless steel
- With high-quality cutting efficiency
- Can be used to enlarge the coronal portion of the canal for bulk removal of tooth structure.
- Are notched for easy size identification..
- ISO color-coded to indicate cutting diameter.
Description
Gates Glidden (GG) drills are the first instruments used to enlarge the cervical portion of root canals.
They are commonly used during endodontic procedures for their ease of use and low cost.
Designed with a flame-shaped boring head with a non-cutting guide tip on a slender shaft.
Used to reduce the curvature in the orifice of the canal, allowing greater access to the canal for cleaning and obturation.
Instrument size can be easily identified by the number of grooves on each instrument.
Instrument size can be easily identified by the number of grooves on each instrument. In addition to the standard 32mm length & 28mm lengths are available depending on whether for molar or canine use, etc.

Direction to Use
GGDs are used sequentially to achieve the desired taper in the coronal and middle third of canals. When more taper is desired, a larger GGD is taken to the greatest depth apically. Conversely, when less taper is desired, a smaller GGD is taken to the greatest depth apically.
- In preparing a minimal taper, the #1 GGD is taken furthest apically—usually to the point of first canal curvature or a clinically appropriate depth.
- Next the #2 is taken to a depth 1-2 mm coronal to the #1, the #3 is taken to a depth 1-2 mm coronal to #2, and the rest continue in this sequence.
- enerally, the #5 and #6 are used only at the orifice.
