Adseal Root Canal Sealer is a dental material commonly used for sealing root canals during endodontic treatment. This sealer is based on epoxy resin and is popular for its excellent sealing ability, biocompatibility, and long-lasting durability. Adseal works by filling and sealing the canal space around gutta-percha points (the material used to fill the canal) to prevent bacterial re-entry, ensuring the canal remains sealed from infections or leakage.
Key features of Adseal Root Canal Sealer include:
1. Biocompatibility: It’s well-tolerated by surrounding tissues.
2. Radiopacity: Easily visible on X-rays, aiding post-treatment examination.
3. Flowability: It flows well to ensure a complete seal of the canal space.
4. Bond Strength: Forms a strong bond with dentin, preventing leakage.
5. Setting Time: Has a workable setting time, providing enough time for application.
Adseal is often chosen for its ease of use, compatibility with gutta-percha, and effectiveness in creating a tight seal, which is essential for long-term root canal success.
