Enhanced Solutions Irrigation
Save steps and valuable chair time by using our premium irrigants.
* Total volume of irrigant can vary based on shape and anatomy of the canal.
** Activation of the irrigants in Steps 1 and 2 of both protocols for 30 seconds can increase irrigation efficacy significantly.
Step 1**:
During instrumentation and the initial
irrigation, use Vista Apex Chlor-XTRA™,
a 6% Sodium Hypochlorite solution with surface modifiers and wetting agents.
Recommendation:
• Use Chlor-XTRA™ during instrumentation.
• Irrigate canal with 10mL* of Chlor-XTRA™.
Step 2**:
Remove the smear layer and ensure pristine cleanliness with
Vista Apex
SmearOFF™ 2-in-1 EDTA + CHX irrigant.
A rinse step is NOT required prior to delivering SmearOFF™.
Recommendation:
