PROPERTIES

R4 is a solution for the cleaning of root canals by irrigation. The presence of chlorhexidine digluconate ensures clean

canals, because of its specific action on anaerobic strains in the root-canal flora and endo-periodontal lesions.

INDICATIONS

Root-canal irrigation when endodontic re-treatment is required and/or when root-canal treatment requires several sessions.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Allergy to any component of the formula.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

After chemical and mechanical root-canal preparation, flush the canal with sterile water or an EDTA solution. Dry the canal with paper points. For the final irrigation, use R4 solution in a disposable pipette, preventing extrusion of the solution beyond the apical foramen. Do not flush. Remove the excess solution which could adversely affect the sealing process of the temporary crown restoration. If necessary, place a cotton pellet in the access cavity and seal it hermetically with a temporary filling, ensuring that the cotton pellet is completely covered. Use a new pipette each time you take some solution.

At the next session (after 24 hours to 30 days), flush the canal with sterile water or an EDTA solution. Proceed with the chemical and mechanical preparation of the root-canal and/or fill the cavity with a permanent filling, depending on the clinical situation and according to routine procedures.
