Dentistry - Endodontic obturating materials (ISO/DIS 6877:2024)

This document establishes the specifications for the dimensions of various endodontic obturating materials including preformed metal, preformed polymeric-coated metal, polymeric points, thermoplastic obturating material or combinations of the above, suitable for use in the obturation of the root canal system. This document also specifies numerical systems and a colour-coding system for designating the sizes of preformed endodontic obturating points.
Dental endodontic obturating points are marketed sterilized or non-sterilized. This document covers the physical attributes expected of such products as supplied.
Sterility is not included in this document, and any claim that the product is sterile is the responsibility of the manufacturer (see Table 3). Clause 7 specifies the labelling needed, including the instructions for use.
This document does not apply to instruments or apparatus used in conjunction with thermoplastic obturating materials (obturating material that deform with heat). This document is not applicable to materials for support of a coronal restoration.

Zahnheilkunde - Endodontische Obturationswerkstoffe (ISO/DIS 6877:2024)

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an die Maße verschiedener endodontischer Obturationswerkstoffe fest, einschließlich vorgeformte Metall-, vorgeformte kunststoffbeschichtete Metall-, Kunststoffstifte, thermoplastische Obturationswerkstoffe oder Kombinationen davon, die zur Obturation eines Wurzelkanalsystems geeignet sind. Dieses Dokument legt auch ein Nummernsystem und ein Farbkennzeichnungssystem zur Größenbezeichnung von vorgeformten endodontischen Obturationsstifen fest.
Zahnärztliche endodontische Obturationsstifte sind in steriler oder nicht steriler Form im Handel erhältlich. Dieses Dokument beschreibt die physikalischen Eigenschaften, die von Produkten dieser Art im Lieferzustand erwartet werden.
Anforderungen an die Sterilität sind nicht enthalten, und jeder Anspruch auf Sterilität des Produktes fällt in den Verantwortungsbereich des Herstellers (siehe Tabelle 3). Abschnitt 7 legt die Anforderungen an die Kennzeichnung einschließlich der Gebrauchsanweisung fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Instrumente oder Ausrüstung, die zusammen mit thermoplastischen Obturationswerkstoffen (Obturationswerkstoff, der sich bei Hitze verformt), verwendet werden. Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Werkstoffe, die für koronale Aufbauten verwendet werden.

Médecine bucco-dentaire - Matériaux d’obturation endodontique (ISO/DIS 6877:2024)

Le présent document établit les spécifications pour les dimensions de divers matériaux d’obturation endodontique incluant les cônes métalliques préformés, les cônes métalliques préformés revêtus de polymère, les cônes à base de polymères, les matériaux d’obturation thermoplastiques ou les combinaisons de ceux-ci, qui sont appropriés pour être utilisés dans le cadre de l’obturation du système de canaux radiculaires. Le présent document spécifie également des systèmes numériques et un système de code de couleur pour la désignation des tailles de cônes d’obturation endodontique préformés.
Les cônes d'obturation endodontique sont commercialisés stérilisés ou non stérilisés. Le présent document couvre les caractéristiques physiques attendues de ces produits tels qu'ils sont fournis.
La stérilité n’est pas abordée dans le présent document et toute revendication indiquant que le produit est stérile est sous la responsabilité du fabricant (voir Tableau 3). L’Article 7 spécifie l’étiquetage, y compris les instructions d’utilisation.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux instruments ou à l’appareillage utilisés en association avec les matériaux d'obturation thermoplastiques (matériaux d’obturation qui se déforment sous l’effet de la chaleur). Le présent document n’est pas applicable aux matériaux utilisés pour l’ancrage d’une restauration coronaire.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
