About JAYPEE ENDO CANAL CLEAR – Citric Acid 20 % Root Canal Irrigant
100 ml
Citric acid is used in dentistry for specific purposes, including cleaning and conditioning dental surfaces, as endodontic irrigant for opening blocked canals. JAYPEE ENDO CANAL CLEAR Citric Acid 20 % Root Canal Irrigant in an endodontic irrigant suited for irrigating and opening blocked canals.
Purpose:
Citric acid is used in dentistry primarily for its chelating and cleaning properties. It can help remove calcium deposits and stains from dental surfaces. Citric acid irrigation can decrease dentine microhardness and cause decalcification and erosion, especially when used before Sodium Hypochlorite.
Concentration:
Citric acid solutions used in dentistry are often prepared at a concentration of 20%. This concentration provides effective chelating action without being too strong or too weak for its intended purposes.
Chelating Properties:
Citric acid acts as a chelating agent, meaning it can bind to metal ions, particularly calcium ions. In dentistry, it is used to decalcify and remove mineral deposits from surfaces like dental instruments and appliances. And is useful for instrumentation of blocked root canals.
Cleaning and Conditioning:
Citric acid solutions are used for cleaning and conditioning purposes.
Instrument Cleaning: Citric acid can be used to clean dental instruments, removing mineral deposits that may accumulate during use.
Endodontic Use: In endodontics (root canal treatment), citric acid can be used to condition and clean the root canal walls, aiding in the removal of the smear layer.
Biocompatibility:
When used according to established protocols, citric acid is generally considered biocompatible within the context of dental procedures.
Application:
Citric acid is typically applied to the dental surface or instrument or used as an irrigant , allowed to dwell for a specific period, and then rinsed thoroughly to remove any residue.
Caution:
While citric acid is generally safe for dental applications, caution should be exercised to prevent prolonged or excessive exposure, especially to soft tissues. Irritation or damage can occur if not used properly.
Compatibility with Dental Materials:
Citric acid is generally compatible with various dental materials. However, its use should be avoided on certain materials that may be adversely affected by acidic solutions.
Storage:
Citric acid solutions should be stored according to manufacturer recommendations, and clinicians should ensure that the solution remains within its specified concentration range.
It’s essential to follow manufacturer guidelines and established protocols when using citric acid in dentistry. Additionally, dentists and dental professionals should consider patient factors and specific clinical situations when incorporating citric acid into their procedures.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What are the applications of citric acid irrigant in dentistry?
Citric acid is a tricarboxylic acid that is typically used to detoxify diseased root surfaces and expose intrinsic collagen fibers in new attachment therapy. It is also used to help remove the smear layer during biomechanical preparation.
-
How does CANAL CLEAR citric acid help is instrumentation of blocked root canal?
CANAL CLEAR Citric acid irrigation can decrease dentine microhardness and cause decalcification leading to to easy instrumentation of blocked root canal.
-
