Description
The first tools used to enlarge the cervical portion of root canals are Gates-Glidden (GG) drills. Because of their affordability and ease of use, they are frequently utilized during endodontic procedures. 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.
