• Avoid flushing EDTA over the apex.

MODE OF ACTION : 

• It helps to remove the inorganic substances by chelation of calcium ions (EDTA-Ca).
• It helps to clean the canal wall and effectively remove the smear layer produced during instrumentation by endodontic files.

WARNING : 

• Not for ingestion.

Packaging

• 1 x 60ml Liquid
• 1 x Manual

Direction of use

STEP 1: 

• Isolate the tooth by using a choice of the separation technique. Proceed with an access opening and identify the canals.

STEP 2:

• Fill the syringe with Waldent EDTA Liquid and attach a side-vented needle. Always check for snug-fitting to prevent any leakage.

STEP 3:

• The needle should be kept loose, passive and 2mm short of working length.

STEP 4:

• Hold the syringe in the palm firmly and use the pressure of the palm for better control of the flow. Dispense the Waldent EDTA Liquid into the canal.

STEP 5:

• Always replenish with Waldent EDTA Liquid in between subsequent endodontic files. Don?t keep it in the canal for more than 60 seconds.

STEP 6:

• Once the canal cleaning is done, flush the Waldent EDTA Liquid out of the canal with sodium hypochlorite and distilled water.

STEP 7:

• Dry the canal and proceed with the choice of obturation technique.

FAQs

What is EDTA liquid solution for dentistry?

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.

How does EDTA work in root canal treatment?

EDTA liquid solution works by reacting with the mineral components of the hard tissues of the tooth. The chelating agent EDTA softens the tissues, decalcifying the canal walls. It facilitates the mechanical preparation of the root canal and further removal of the smear layer, which opens dentin tubules.
