Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE) as a Root Canal Sealer 

Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE) is a widely used material in dentistry, particularly as a root canal sealer. It is a combination of zinc oxide powder and eugenol liquid. When mixed, it forms a paste that sets over time. Here are its main features:


 Advantages of ZOE as a Root Canal Sealer

1. Biocompatibility: It is well-tolerated by periapical tissues.

 2. Antibacterial Properties: Eugenol provides mild antibacterial effects.

 3. Good Flow and Adaptation: It fills small irregularities and voids in the root canal system. 

4. Radiopacity: ZOE sealers are radiopaque, making them visible on radiographs. 

5. Ease of Use: It is easy to mix and apply. 

6. Sealing Ability: Provides a good seal to prevent microleakage.


 Disadvantages 

1. Solubility: ZOE-based sealers tend to dissolve over time, which may affect long-term sealing.

 2. Brittle after Setting: It can become brittle and fracture.

 3. Delayed Setting in Moisture: Presence of moisture may slow the setting process. 

 4. Eugenol Sensitivity: Some patients may have sensitivity or allergies to eugenol. 


Clinical Use 

ZOE sealers are commonly used with gutta-percha in lateral or vertical compaction techniques for root canal obturation. While they are effective, newer materials such as resin-based, bioceramic, and silicone-based sealers are often preferred for better durability and sealing properties.

Airotor Tubing with Coupling


Airotor Tubing with Coupling
Rs. 2000/- 

Airotor Tubing with Coupling is an essential component in dental handpiece systems, connecting the dental unit to the high-speed airotor handpiece. It facilitates the transfer of air, water, and power, ensuring smooth operation during dental procedures.

Features of Airotor Tubing with Coupling:

1. Material:

Made of durable and flexible materials like silicone or PU (polyurethane), ensuring long-lasting performance.

Resistant to wear and tear caused by daily use.



2. Compatibility:

Available in 2-hole or 4-hole configurations, depending on the type of handpiece and dental unit.

Compatible with standard handpieces used in dentistry.



3. Coupling:

The coupling ensures a secure connection between the tubing and the handpiece.

May include a quick-connect mechanism for easy attachment and removal.

Swivel couplings provide greater flexibility during procedures, reducing strain on the wrist.



4. Functionality:

Delivers air and water efficiently to the handpiece.

Some models come with built-in fiber-optic connections for handpieces with light.




Advantages:

  • Smooth Functioning: Ensures consistent delivery of air and water for optimal handpiece performance.

  • Easy Maintenance: Simple to clean and replace when necessary.

  • Ergonomic Design: Flexible and lightweight tubing reduces fatigue for the dentist.


Common Applications:

  • High-speed cavity preparation.

  • Polishing and finishing restorations.

  • Other procedures requiring high-speed handpieces.

Articulating Paper For Visible Occlusion

Articulating Paper For Visible Occlusion
Rs. 95/- / Book


Product Details: 

Company Name: MDM Corporation, Delhi 

Quantity in a book : 10 Sheets each 


Articulating Paper For Visible Occlusion is a thin, colored paper used in dentistry to detect occlusion, which refers to how teeth come into contact with each other when biting or chewing. The paper leaves visible marks on the contact points, helping dentists identify areas with excessive pressure or improper alignment.


Here are some key points about articulating paper:


1. Types of Articulating Paper:


Double-sided: Marks both upper and lower teeth simultaneously.


Single-sided: Marks only one surface.



2. Colors: Typically available in red, blue, or black. These colors ensure clear visibility on tooth surfaces.


3. Thickness: It ranges from 40 to 200 microns. Thicker paper is suitable for restorative work, while thinner paper is used for precise adjustments.


4. Applications:

  • Checking bite after dental restorations (e.g., fillings, crowns).

  • Evaluating occlusion during orthodontic treatments.

  • Identifying high-pressure areas causing discomfort or TMJ issues.


5. Alternatives: Articulating film (thinner and more sensitive) or silicone bite indicators can also be used for more precise assessments.
