• EDTA for Chelation and Calcification Removal:
  Each micro-dose poly-tube of SlickGel ES contains EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), which plays a critical role in endodontic treatments. EDTA is a powerful chelating agent that binds to calcium ions in calcified root canals, effectively breaking down mineralized obstructions. This process allows endodontic instruments to more easily navigate and clean the canal system, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

• Reaction with Sodium Hypochlorite for Enhanced Debris Removal:
  The interaction between SlickGel ES’s urea peroxide and sodium hypochlorite produces vigorous foaming. This foaming action helps dislodge and expel debris from the canal, providing a mechanical cleaning effect that complements traditional irrigation methods. The foam carries away necrotic tissue, bacterial colonies, and other debris, making it easier to achieve a clean and sterilized canal system, which is essential for successful endodontic outcomes.

• Moderate Lubrication for Instrument Passage:
  One of the primary functions of SlickGel ES is to provide moderate lubrication. This lubrication is crucial for reducing friction as endodontic files are inserted into the root canals. It ensures that the instruments move smoothly, minimizing the risk of instrument breakage or excessive wear. The lubrication also reduces stress on the canal walls, making it easier to negotiate curved or narrow canals, which are often more challenging during endodontic procedures.

• Smear Layer Removal with SmearClear Combination:
  The smear layer is a thin layer of debris that forms on the walls of root canals during instrumentation. This layer consists of organic and inorganic material that can prevent proper sealing of the canal. When SlickGel ES is used in conjunction with SmearClear at the end of the procedure, it effectively removes this smear layer, ensuring that the canal is thoroughly cleaned and ready for obturation. This step is vital for preventing future infections and improving the longevity of the treatment.

• Convenient Single-Use Packaging:
  SlickGel ES is conveniently packaged in single-use, 1 ml micro-dose poly-tubes. Each poly-tube provides a precise and sterile dose, reducing the risk of contamination during the procedure. The single-use format ensures optimal hygiene and convenience for the practitioner, allowing for easy application directly into the root canal. Each box contains 12 poly-tubes, providing sufficient material for multiple procedures while maintaining the highest standards of safety and sterility.

This combination of chelation, foaming action, lubrication, and smear layer removal makes SlickGel ES an essential product for ensuring the success of endodontic treatments.
