Waldent RCTprep EDTA

STEP 1 :

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

STEP 2 :

• Attach the unit dose dispenser with the Waldent Rct Prep syringe. Before use, always check for snug-fitting to prevent any leakage.

STEP 3:

• For better dispensing of Waldent Rct Prep, always hold the syringe in the palm firmly and use the pressure of the palm for controlled delivery.

STEP 4:

• Once you have identified the orifice, apply the Waldent Rct Prep into the canal opening using a unit-dose dispenser.

STEP 5:

• Gently negotiate the canal with the help of endodontic files.

STEP 6:

• Always replenish with Waldent Rct Prep in between subsequent endodontic files.

STEP 7:

• Once the canal shaping is done, flush the Waldent Rct Prep out of the canal with sodium hypochlorite and distilled water.

STEP 8:

• Finish the bio-mechanical preparation with the choice of disinfectant to clean the canals.

STEP 9:

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

FAQs

What is EDTA Gel?

Waldent RCTprep EDTA contains 17% EDTA with 10% carbamide peroxide in water-soluble gel base for use in chemical and mechanical cleansing of root canal preparation. It lubricates the root canal and chelates the calcium salts to facilitate endodontic instrument penetrations.

When do you use EDTA?

 

 EDTA gel is recommended as a final flushing solution during root-canal preparation because it provides a better smear layer-free condition before 3-dimensional root-canal obturation.

 

How does EDTA work in root canal treatment?

 

EDTA 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.
