Dentsply Glyde Root Canal Lubricant

– The Dentsply Glyde Root Canal Lubricant makes root canal treatment easier as it reduces the risk of instrument fracture by acting as a lubricant
– It helps to flush out debris
– EDTA, a demineralising agent, softens dentine making calcified canals easier to shape
– The combination of urea peroxyde causes an effervescent reaction which helps to remove smear layer in the canal up towards the crown

– Using EDTA, a chelating (demineralising) agent, clean canal walls, completely free of smear layer are obtained and calcified canals are easier to shape
– It chemically cleans and removes smear layer thanks to urea peroxyde
– Urea peroxyde, an oxidising agent also used in bleaching processes, chemically cleans and removes anaerobic bacteria in the canal flora. The formulation, which is completely water-soluble, gives the mixture its gel consistency.
– Instructions for Use:
– Rinse with sodium hypochlorite and make the first entry into the canal using the first manual or rotary instrument
– Apply the Glyde File Prep straight into the cavity using the disposable tip or the single-use pack
– Reinsert the first instrument and begin to prepare the canal
– Rinse with hypochlorite and apply the Glyde again into the access cavity
– Continue preparing the canal alternating with sodium hypochlorite and Glyde between each instrument
– Once the canal has been shaped, rinse it with plenty of sodium hypochlorite until the effervescence subsides
– Dry and fill
