Dental root surface conditioner

Definition

A dental material, typically of neutral pH, used for topical application on exposed/scaled root surfaces for the removal of the smear layer (adherent debris produced when cutting the enamel or dentin in cavity or endodontic preparation, Circa 1 micron thick) during dental/periodontal surgery. The material is removed (washed off) after the recommended period to expose the collagenous matrix of dentine surfaces. It is typically presented in the form of a gel and consists of, e.g., edetate disodium (EDTA) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) with a neutral pH. After application, this device cannot be reused.
