GUTAP

The product is intended for softening and dissolving gutta-percha.

It is particularly recommended during:

• removal of gutta-percha for re-treatment of the root canal, in cases of difficult removal of gutta-percha from curved canals as well as heavily condensed and hardened gutta-percha and sealer,
• filling of root canals using a single cone or by lateral condensation of gutta-percha.

Instructions for use

Removal of gutta-percha from the root canal

• introduce 1-2 drops of the product into the pulp chamber and using a file, e.g. K-file of size 25, cause penetration of the solvent
• after approximately 2 min. remove the softened gutta-percha with a manual canal instrument, e.g. K-file of size 20 and 15 or a H-file
• if necessary, use another portion of the product, placing it in the partially emptied canal
• alternately rinse the canal with 2 - 3% sodium hypochlorite in the amount of 2 ml – using an aspirator
• discontinue the use of the solvent when the file is at a depth of 1/3 apical in the canal
• remove material from the canal and rinse the canal until the irrigation fluid is clear.

Filling of root canals using a single cone or by lateral condensation of gutta-percha

• after complete preparation of the canal, select and try in the master cone, which should have the size of the last file with which the entire canal was prepared to working length; the cone should have the length of this file or be 1 mm shorter
• dip the tip of the cone into the solvent
• introduce the prepared cone into the canal so that in the area of the apex it is slightly wedged and offers slight resistance
• remove the cone from the canal
• introduce the paste (sealer) into the canal manually or mechanically or coat the paste on the master cone and gently re-introduce it into the canal so that the cone becomes wedged in the apical foramen
• if necessary, begin the lateral condensation technique of gutta-percha.
