Forthis purpose a combined gutta-percha and instrument-warmer,of the dry-heat pattern, should be used.* The low-heat gutta-perchas should be placed upon theupper plate; the medium and high-heat gutta-perchasupon the middle plate, and the instruments upon the lower plate— this insures that they shall be hotter than the gutta-percha,and thus that they shall be as warm when taken from the plateand carried to the mouth as was the gutta-percha when takenfrom its place upon the other plates. Another advantage, and a very great one, which is attainedby an instrument-warmer, is the ability to heat at one time allthe various instruments required in any given operation-; this* The water-bath warmers have been discarded since Fill lamp two-thirds full. Put Low-Heat gutta-percha, red baseplate, or temporary stopping, on upper plate; High Heat, or shadedgutta-percha, on middle plate; Instruments, on lower plate. The heatfor instruments, the handles being comfortable to work with (regulatedby raising or lowering them, or the wick), makes all heats right.
