Ammdent Citocid 10% Citric Acid

Viscous chelating agent, Dissolve calcium Hydroxide from Canal, acts as mild chelating agent , root canal irrigation/cleanser-conditionr, colored for easy traceability

INDICATIONS :-

• Chemical root canal dilatation.
• Location of canal entrances.
• Citric acid is a mild, slightly antibacterial, biocompatible chelating agent that forms a relatively stable chelate complex with the calcium ions in the dentine (action similar to EDTA preparations). This demineralizes and softens hard dental substance and removes the smear layer on the canal wall, thus opening the dentine tubuli and even widening them.
• Residual citric acid must be thoroughly flushed out to prevent continuing demineralization along the length of the tubuli. Opening up the dentine tubuli facilitates adaptation of the root canal sealer, generally improving the sealing of the root canal filling. This effect is further enhanced by activating the solution with ultrasound.
• Calcium hydroxide residues can also be reliably removed (for instance from a medical inlay).

• 1 x 10ml Syringe

• 10% Citric Acid Solution must be dosed under appropriately hygienic conditions
• In cases of root canal entrances that are hard to locate, 10% Citric Acid Solution can be dripped into the pulp cavum
• The root canal entrances become visible after a few minutes
• The solution is injected into the root canal for preparation and dilatation using a endo-capillary tip or suitable rinsing cannula
• This should be repeated throughout the entire root canal preparation procedure. Alternate rinsing with sodium hypochlorite to remove necrotic tissue, dentine residues and the smear layer, rinsing with water between applications.
