Root canal system morphology is complex with numerous intricacies, lateral canals, isthmuses and dentinal tubules in which bacteria hide. Smear layer, created during instrumentation, only increases the challenge of eliminating bacteria by inhibiting or delaying the penetration of antibacterial irrigants into the dentinal tubules. Additionally, even with today’s advanced rotary techniques, cleaning with instruments alone is incomplete.
Root canal systems require significantly better irrigation with activated irrigants. The rotary files conveniently create the access for modern irrigants and modern irrigation methods to complete the cleaning of the canals and the complex root anatomy. Better irrigation supports root canal therapy through cleaner canals, more complete 3-D penetration of obturation materials and supports better long term outcomes.
QMix 2in1 Irrigating Solution is another product in DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties' line-up of innovative offerings. Premixed and ready to use after NaOCl, this affordable irrigating solution removes smear layer and kills 99.99% bacteria in 60-90 seconds.
