Glyde Intro Package Ref. A0902

Indications for use

These products are to be used only in a clinical or hospital environment, by qualified users.

Application field:

• Glyde™ is a device in the form of a gel for use in the chemical and mechanical cleansing of the root canal preparation during endodontic therapy.
• Glyde™ is a combination of EDTA and carbamide peroxide specifically formulated to provide cleansing of the root canal preparation. The polyethylene oxide base used in Glyde™ acts as a lubricant to facilitate the shaping of the root canal using rotary and hand instrumentation.
• Glyde™ allows for cleansing action that facilitates easy removal of vital pulp tissue and necrotic pulp tissue.
• Glyde™ is designed to be used with endodontic irrigation with sodium hypochlorite solutions. Oxygen bubbling occurs through the release of oxygen from the carbamide peroxide. This action allows for pulp tissue, dentinal shavings and debris to be easily removed.
• Glyde™ encourages lightening of the tooth if discoloration exists from non-vitality. The use of sodium hypochlorite with Glyde™ promotes internal bleaching of the tooth. This process is enhanced by the release of oxygen from the carbamide peroxide.
• Also, Glyde™ leaves an appropriate internal canal surface for penetration of other medicaments used in endodontic therapy by more completely cleaning the canal and opening dentinal tubules.

Contraindications

• Do not use Glyde™ outside of the root canal system or on soft tissues. Immediately wash skin with soap and water after contact or flush eyes if contact occurs.

Lubricant for root canals

• Reduces the risk of instrument fracture by acting as a lubricant;
• Assists in the elimination of debris;
• Channel walls without smear layer, due to EDTA and its demineralization;
• Chemically cleans and removes the smear layer thanks to the carbamide peroxide it contains.

Removal

• It is totally removed through rinsing, due to its completely water-soluble formulation.

Composition

• Glyde™ Root Canal Conditioner is a combination of Ethylenediametetracetic Acid (EDTA) and carbamide peroxide in a water-soluble base. The EDTA chelates calcium salts from calcified areas within the root canal to facilitate the use of files.
