ABSTRACT:
Endodontic files extend freely through openings in a gauge plate supported through a central threaded opening by an elongated, rotatable screw extending upwardly from a base. A post extends upwardly from the base and slidably engages the gauge plate to prevent rotation of the plate while allowing it to move vertically relative to the base upon rotation of the screw, whereby to afford adjustment of the vertical distance between the base and gauge plate to correspond with the depth of radicular pulp to be removed from the root canal of a tooth. Depth stoppers on the files are adjusted along the length of the files to bring them into abutment with the upper surface of the gauge plate, thereby establishing the depth to which the files are to penetrate the root canal. A cover fits removably over the gauge plate and base to retain the files on the gauge plate during transport and to accommodate autoclaving and sterile storage.
