VDW Reciproc Minima Paper Points (180 pcs)

VDW Reciproc Minima Absorbent Points

Reciproc Minima Absorbent Points are the dedicated paper points specified in Dentsply's own Reciproc Minima procedure. A Minima preparation is deliberately conservative, and a generic paper point of the same ISO tip size behaves differently in it — either too slender to wick properly, or binding coronally before the tip ever reaches working length. These points are sized to match the shape each corresponding Reciproc Minima file actually leaves in the canal, so the point reaches length rather than stopping short.

Select the size matching the Reciproc Minima instrument used to complete your preparation.

• Highly absorbent, for efficient, thorough canal drying
• 180 points per box
• Available in sizes matching the full Reciproc Minima range: R20, R25, R35, R45, plus an Assorted box
• Made by Dentsply Sirona / VDW

Who Are Reciproc Minima Absorbent Points For?

These points suit clinicians using the Reciproc Minima single-file reciprocating system who want to follow the manufacturer's specified drying step precisely, rather than substituting a generic paper point of the same ISO size. This matters most in narrow and curved canals, where Reciproc Minima's reduced, conservative taper means a generic point may not reach the same depth the file did.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Reciproc Minima Absorbent Points used for?

They're used to dry the root canal after cleaning and disinfection, sized to match the Reciproc Minima instrument used during preparation, ready for obturation. Dentsply's own published Minima procedure specifies this dedicated drying step.

What sizes are available?

Sizes R20, R25, R35 and R45, matching the full range of Reciproc Minima instruments, plus an Assorted box covering mixed sizes.

How many points come in a box?

180 points per box, across all sizes.

Why can't I just use my usual generic paper points?

A generic point of the same ISO tip size may not reach the same depth as the file, since Reciproc Minima's preparation shape differs from a constant-taper canal. Using the matched point helps ensure the canal is dried to the full length the file prepared, not just the middle third.

Can these points be used with Reciproc or Reciproc blue instead?

No. Reciproc and Reciproc blue cut different shapes and have their own separately matched paper points, in sizes R25, R40 and R50.

What should I use after drying the canal?

The matching Reciproc Minima ConformFit GP master cone, moulded to the same preparation shape, followed by a suitable root canal sealer.
