EDTA 17 % GEL
- Best: Yes
Description
Designed for chemo-mechanical root canal preparation, it chelates calcium salts, softens calcified dentin, and acts as an effective lubricant for endodontic files.
Key Features & Specifications
Kit Packaging: Typically supplied as 6g per pack (containing 2 x 3g pre-filled syringes) accompanied by disposable intra-canal delivery tips.
Chemical Composition: 17% Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) disodium salt formulated in a water-soluble gel base, often combined with carbamide peroxide or surfactant agents.
Core Properties:
Smear Layer Removal: Effectively chelates inorganic calcium ions to dissolve calcified tissue and remove the smear layer created during canal instrumentation.
File Lubrication: Reduces the risk of file binding, instrument separation, or breakage inside narrow or curved canals.
Effervescent Action: When combined with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigation, it generates oxygen bubbles to float out dentinal debris and pulp tissue remnants.
Water-Soluble: Rinses out thoroughly with standard irrigating solutions without leaving oily residues.
Primary Applications
Root Canal Preparation: Lubricating and cleansing root canals during manual or rotary instrumentation.
Narrow & Calcified Canals: Softening canal walls and locating calcified or obstructed canal orifices.
Smear Layer & Debris Removal: Cleaning dentinal tubules to improve bonding and sealing of endodontic sealers.
