ADSEAL Plus root canal sealer is a two component paste:paste device based upon epoxy-amine resin chemistry. This sealer is easy to mix and adapts closely to the walls of the prepared root canal and provides outstanding long-term dimensional stability with minimal shrinkage upon setting.The device consists of two components, the epoxy resin paste (Paste A) and the amine-containing paste (Paste B); portions of which are mixed prior to insertion into the root canal. This two component system reacts via an epoxide-amine chemical reaction to cause setting. It may be used in conjunction with the auxiliary materials in the root canal (i.e. gutta percha points).Paste A and Paste B are contained, separately, with the chambers of a two component plastic syringe, packaged with a disposable applicator.The ADSEAL Plus device is similar in design, materials and intended use to other 510(k) cleared devices which are in commercial distribution.
A viscous material intended to be applied to a prepared root canal to maintain its relative sterility between procedures and to facilitate its healing. It is intended to be placed within the root canal temporarily and sealed with a temporary filling material to prevent repopulation of the canal by bacteria. It is typically a zinc or calcium cement-based material that includes an antimicrobial agent (e.g., pharmaceutical or pH), and sometimes an anti-inflammatory agent, available in a tube or syringe. After application, this device cannot be reused.
