Solutions included in Vista Dental's recommended regimen . . .
Chlor-Xtra™For the irrigation, debridement and disinfection of root canals during and after instrumentation.
This 6% Sodium Hypochlorite formula is enhanced with powerful wetting agents and propriety surface modifiers to penetrate into lateral canals and isthmuses by lowering the surface tension, thus yielding a much
more powerful oxidizing agent. Over 2 times thinner than standard Sodium Hypochlorite and 2+ times more digestive.
EDTA™ Solution (17%). For removal of the smear layer and dentin mud for maximum disinfection of dentinal tubules. Tip: Must flush with enough EDTA because Sodium Hypochlorite will decrease effectiveness of EDTA.
Rinse-N-Dry™ 95% Ethyl Alcohol penetrates into lateral canals and isthmuses to improve drying / disinfecting properties. Use after smear layer removal with EDTA to assure canal is clear of all Chlor-Xtraâ„¢ before final irrigation step with CHX-Plusâ„¢.
CHX-Plus™ Final irrigation step for long-lasting disinfection.2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate with powerful wetting agents and propriety surface modifiers. Improves the depth of penetration and kills all bacteria 10X’s faster than normal 2% Chlorhexidine.
