Features
- Removes Inorganic substances like dentinal chips & facilitates their easy removal by chelation of calcium ions.
- Effective in the removal of the smear layer & unplugging of dentinal tubules – enhances adhesion filling material like a sealer.
- Buffered to a neutral pH for tissue compatibility.
- Facilitates root canal instrumentation.
- Removes the smear layer effectively.
- Decalcifies canal walls for easier shaping.
- Softens dentin to assist with file and reamer usage.
- Enhances cleaning and preparation of root canals
Description
EDTA 17% Solution is buffered to a neutral pH and is an effective calcium binding or chelating agent used to facilitate instrumentation of root canals and for smear layer removal. It decalcifies the canal walls making it easier to enlarge and shape the canal with files and reamers.
Indications
- Surface preparation of canal
- Debridement of canal
- Smear layer removal
- Unclogging of dentinal tubules
Advantages
- Removes inorganic substances like dentinal chips & facilitates their easy removal by chelation of calcium ions
- Effective in the removal of smear layer and unplugging of dentinal tubules-enhances adhesion of filling material like a sealer
