- A high-performance chelating agent used to chemically clean and prepare the root canal system. Its primary role is to remove the "smear layer"—the organic and inorganic debris created during mechanical filing—to ensure the canal is sterile and ready for sealing
Uses
- Smear Layer Removal:
- Dissolves the dentinal debris and inorganic matter from the root canal walls
- Canal Lubrication:
- Softens the dentin to help instruments glide more easily through narrow or calcified canals
- Dentin Permeability:
- Opens dentinal tubules, allowing subsequent antimicrobial irrigants (like Chlorhexidine) to penetrate deeper
Features
- 17% Concentration:
- A standard, potent strength optimized for effective chelation
- Luer-Lock Dispensing Cap:
- The 16 oz (480mL) bottle features a unique cap that allows you to draw the solution directly into a syringe, preventing spills and chemical exposure
- Enhanced Surface Tension:
- Specifically formulated to flow easily into complex anatomy, including lateral canals and microtubules
- Bulk Refill Size:
- Packaged in a large 16 oz bottle for cost-efficiency in high-volume practices
Benefits
- Superior Bonding:
- By removing the smear layer, it provides a cleaner surface for endodontic sealers and gutta-percha to adhere to
- Efficiency & Speed:
- The direct-draw cap eliminates the need to pour solution into secondary cups or beakers, saving chairside time
- No-Mess Workflow:
- Prevents accidental drips and splashes on countertops, flooring, or patient clothing
- Improved Outcomes:
- Ensures a more thoroughly cleaned canal, reducing the risk of post-operative reinfection
