Application
Product for dissolving gutta-percha filling during endodontic retreatment.
It is especially recommended:
- in case of difficult gutta-percha removal from curved root canals,
- for very well condensed and hardened gutta-percha and sealer removal.
Helpful while cleaning of dental instruments from gutta-percha and sealer oddments.
How to handle the product
Gutta-percha and root canal sealer removal
- using rotary instruments (e.g. Gates-Glidden drill) remove filling material from tooth chamber, creating reservoir for the solvent,
- place 1-2 drops of solvent into established space,
- after approximately 2 minutes progressively remove softened gutta-percha with endodontic hand file e.g. K-file, adequate to root canal diameter (e.g. ISO 15 or 20) or H-type file,
- if necessary use next dose of the product, place it in partially cleaned root canal,
- during removal procedure irrigate root canals with 2-3% sodium hypochlorite solution,
- stop using solvent when the endodontic file reaches the distance 3-4 mm from root apex,
- irrigate root canals accurately (e.g. with 2-3% sodium hypochlorite solution),
- remove remaining filling material using endodontic files and irrigate the root canal thoroughly with 2-3% sodium hypochlorite solution,
- follow endodontic retreatment protocol afterwards.
Cleaning of dental instruments from gutta-percha and sealer oddments
- clean instrument with gauze soaked with solvent,
- rinse instrument with warm running water.
