Endodontics: Rotary Files, Root Canal Sealers, Intracanal Medicament and more

Avue Aurum - Gold Heat Treated Endo Rotary File System

Enhanced Cuttability

Convex Triangular Cross Section with 3 Cutting Edges reduce rotation friction between blade and dentine to improve cutting action. The decrease in torsional load helps to improve safety.

Improved Efficacy Due To Ease of Debris Removal

Progressive pitch makes more space for the debris which in turn push them upwards.

The higher the pitch or fewer turns the instrument has, the more flexible it will be, but in turn, the helical angle will decrease, and the file will have less cutting capacity, so, it will need more rotations to be effective.

Safe-Higher Fracture Resistance & Longer Service Life

Post machining gold heat treatment produces a better arrangement of the crystal structure which strengthen the files.

Eliminate Procedural Errors

The non-cutting tip design helps eliminate procedural error such as ledge formation transportation and perforations particularly in curved canals. One of the benefits of a progressively tapered shaping file is that each instrument engages a smaller zone of dentin, which reduces torsional loads, file fatigue and the potential for breakage

Flexible-Excellent Resistance to Cyclic Fatigue

Cyclic fatigue occurs when the instrument does not bind in the canal but rotates freely in a curvature whilst being subjected to repeated cycles of tension and compression, which disintegrates its structure and consequently leads to fracture.

Our Advanced design makes the file 200% more flexible. This allows superior resistance to cyclic fatigue which is the most common cause of file separation.

Better Adaption to Root Canal Curvatures

Controlled Memory Nickel Titanium wires offer remarkable memory-free property which allows the instrument to adapt to root canal curvatures and minimizes undesirable lateral. The Super elasticity of Niti rotary instruments provides improved access to curved root canals during the chemomechanical preparation, leading to their successful and extensive application in the clinical practice

Avue Prep is a water soluble Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) gel for root canal cleaning

Avueprep works by reacting with the mineral components of the hard tissues of the tooth. The chelating agent Avueprep 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

EDTA is a polyaminocarboxylic acid and a colorless, water-soluble solid. It is widely used to dissolve lime scale. Its usefulness arises because of its role as a hexadentate ligand and chelating agent, i.e. its ability to sequester metal ions such as Ca²⁺ and Fe³⁺.

Indications of Avueprep EDTA with carbamide peroxide:

• Chelating (calcium binding) agent react with minerlized component of tooth.
• Removal of the smear layer which is produced during instrumentation.
• For chemical and mechanical cleaning of the root canal.
• Shaping of the root canal via using rotary or hand files.
• To be used with sodium hypochlorite as carbamide peroxide helps to produce nascent oxygen molecules when used with sodium hypochlorite

Smear layer removal:

The use of 15% -17%EDTA resulted in the greatest concentration of calcium ions compared with other chelating agents. Avueprep/Avueprep+ were the most efficient solution for removal of smear layer.

Antimicrobial activity

The antibacterial activity of Avueprep is due to the chelation of cations from the outer membrane of bacteria.

Effects on Dentin microhardness:

it reduce the root dentine microhardness, whereby the greatest differences are to be found in dentine immediately adjacent to the root canal lumen. After 3 min, Avueprep produced a greater reduction in microhardness.

Positively affect adhesion of root canal sealer:

Treating dentine with a combination of NaOCl and  EDTA produced stronger adhesion of resin based sealer compared to NaOCl alone.

Avueprep is Biocompatible

It has been proven that even if EDTA is forced through the apical foramen into the periapical tissues, no periapical tissue damage could be detected after 14 months. Furthermore, that placement of EDTA for 28 days after pulpotomy produced no pulpal tissue necrosis. However, changes in macrophage activity can cause the inflammatory reaction to be more easily initiated, but reduced capacity of phagocytosis can result. Furthermore, EDTA improves plasma extravasation and mediator action. 

Can remove calcium hydroxide while using Avueprep

It has been revealed that using Avueprep or NaOCl alone as irrigants did not remove calcium hydroxide from the root canal, but combining these two irrigants with hand instrumentation improved the effectiveness of the removal.

Composition of Avueprep

EDTA Disodium Salt – 15% w/w
Carbamide Peroxide – 10% w/w

Angelus Bio C Sealer - Bioceramic root canal sealer

Introduction

• Bio-C Sealer is a ready-to-use bioceramic sealer for root canal filling.
• The bioceramic composition allows the release of calcium ions, which stimulates the formation of mineralized tissue.
• Its mechanical and physical properties make it easy to manipulate and seal the canals, and its biological properties and high pH confer safety and treatment success

Flow

• High flowability allows the filling of the main and accessory canal easily.
• The smooth flow ensures that the filling are complete and sturdy

Radiopacity

• BIO-C® SEALER presents high opacity ( ≥ 7 mm of the Aluminium step-wedge), providing an excellent radiographic view.

Setting time

• Bio-C Sealer setting reaction occurs through the contact with the moisture from dentinal canaliculi and periapical tissues, as it is a product with hydraulic characteristics.
• Setting occurs between 60 and 120 minutes.
• The setting time ensures that it is accurate, and provides a longer lasting restoration

Film thickness

• Particle size of less than 2 μm provides thin (> 50 μm) thickness.
• The thinness allows the complete settling of gutta-percha, as well as cement penetration into the dentinal tubules.

Particle size

• Particle size (less than 2 μm) provides Bio-C Sealer with excellent flow, thin film thickness and diffusion to tissues, leading to a faster regeneration.

Release of calcium ions

• The release of Calcium ions is fundamental for the biological and chemical action of a filling cement.
• Bio-C Sealer presents constant release of Calcium to the tissues
• Our product helps in promoting biomineralization and stimulation of the tissues for their fast regeneration

Antibacterial action

• The high pH (12.5) gives Bio-C Sealer an antibacterial action, desirable for endodontic cements,
• The results and treatment prognosis thus provided are favorable and a step in the right direction.

Characteristics and benefits

• Pre-mixed: Ready for use/injectable;
• With Zirconia Oxide: Does not cause staining;
• Bioceramic formulation: High biocompatibility;
