Gutta-percha root canal obturator EZ-Fill®, EZ-Fill® Xpress

Both EZ-Fill® and EZ-Fill® Xpress thoroughly coats the walls of the root canal and lateral canals without significant cement being forced apically. The reverse spirals on the apical end rotate in an unwinding direction out of the canal, and thus help prevent binding. BENEFITS Thoroughly coats the walls of the root canal and lateral canals without significant cement being forced apically. The reverse apical spirals rotate in an unwinding direction out of the canal, preventing binding. Allows a coronal path of exit for excess cement, thus preventing it from going over the apex. Additional cement is utilized, ensuring a proper seal. The cement works synergistically with the gutta percha to assure a complete seal. Lateral or vertical condensation is usually not needed with the EZ-Fill technique. Unlike thermoplastic techniques, there is no shrinkage upon cooling. 1 The flow of cement at room temperature into lateral canals is superior to thermoplastic gutta percha.2-3 Clear x-ray viewing. Bonds chemically and physically to the dentin and gutta percha. No shrinkage: In fact, mild expansion to assure an intimate fit. Hydrophobic nature means highly resistant to water degradation to ensure a long lasting seal. Easily removed for post-hole preparation. Compatible with all bonding agents and composites. Epoxy resin chemistry is backed by 50 years of clinical success. Subsequent composite techniques may be performed immediately Results of a two year recall study show a two year recall study found a success rate of 94.1%5 Fills canals quickly without sacrificing quality.4 No need for expensive thermoplastic equipment.
