Developed with proprietary advanced metallurgy, ProTaper Gold rotary files deliver greater flexibility, yet with the trusted, predictable ProTaper performance. Moreover, to complement our wide selection of files, we offer a complete endodontic solution with system-matching obturators, gutta-percha points, and absorbent paper points developed where each taper size matches the shape created by the ProTaper Gold instruments.
Benefits
A patented, progressively tapered design serves to significantly improve cutting efficiency and safety.*
The convex triangular cross-section enhances cutting action while decreasing rotational friction between the blade of the file and dentin.¹

The main difference is their file type. ProTaper Gold is a rotary file system based on a multiple file sequence and WaveOne Gold is a reciprocate file system based on a single file sequence.
The ProTaper Gold technology includes a series of “Shaping” and “Finishing” files that create the predictable ProTaper shapes. ProTaper Gold rotary files create the same smoothly tapered shapes as ProTaper Universal1 while delivering significant new advantages:
ProTaper Gold has a shorter handle length than previous ProTaper files, namely 11 mm.
