One-Step Obturators have a .03 taper. Therefore it is not recommended that you use any other brand of Size Verifiers. You need to have matching Size Verifiers to obtain a reliable measurement and fit. There are stainless steel Size Verifiers available for the One-Step System with the exact same taper as the actual obturator (3%). The One-Step Size Verifiers have flutes (K-file) and can be used as a file as well.
