DENTAL CLINIC AND DENTAL IMPLANTS CENTRE

Here we include some information on the advanced endodontic instruments/materials used in our clinics and the associated costs of Root Canal Treatment at our clinic.

This information is for patient awareness/empowerment purposes only and not meant to be an advetisement or claims of superiority of these endodontic products over other endodontic products. We believe that our patients have a right to know which materials are, and will be used on their teeth in our clinics. Further, they should have access to safety data on these products from their respective manufacturers.

Advanced Root Canal Instruments / Materials used in our clinics

• Root ZX II Apex LocatorAdvanced Root Canal Instruments / Materials used in our clinics:- to determine the length of the root canal electronically. This instrument is considered to be the best in the world and has been the best selling apex locator in the world for several years running.

• Dental Dam - for isolating the tooth/quadrant being operated upon. Dental Dam is a rubber sheet which is placed over the mouth in such a way that the tooth being worked on is above it and the rest of the teeth are below. It prevents salivary contamination of the root canals and also prevents pus/infected tooth fragments and strong medicines from going down the throat. For patients allergic to latex, we also have latex-free dental dam.

• PROTAPER Hand Files,  PROTAPER Paper Points & Gutta Percha Points-  The 'Progressively Tapered' - PROTAPER root canal files are made out of Nickel -Titanium for greater flexibility to reach into curved root canals and shape them  in accordance with the latest crown-down technique of root canal treatment.

Complimenting the ProTaper Files are the ProTaper paper points and gutta percha points which have been designed to match the shape of canals prepared with ProTaper finishing flies, hence provide optimal coronal and apical fit and seal of root canal filling.

•  C+ Files - These advanced files also from Dentsply, USA feature a variable taper design, have reduced flexion with greater buckling resistance and therefore have easier access to the root canal tip, especially during initial canal catheterization.

•  Sodium Hypochlorite Root Canal Irrigant - This is the main disinfectant in endodontic treatment and dissolves the necrotic pulpal tissue within the root canal preparing it for a sealed filling.
