Septodont Endomethasone

Indications

• Permanent root canal sealer.

Features & benefits

• Radiopaque for easy short & long-term follow up.
• Neither resorbable after setting nor retractable to allow stable root canal obturation.
• Antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties to reduce post-operative flare ups.

• Powder: 1 x 14 g powder bottle, 1 x measuring spoon.
• Liquid: 1 x 10 ml bottle

COMPOSITION

Hydrocortisone acetate............................................................ 1.0 g

Excipients : thymol iodide, barium sulfate, zinc oxide, magnesium stearate q.s.ad      100,0 g

PROPERTIES

To act as perfect root canal filling materials, pastes should be neither resorbable once hardened nor retractable over the years.

These pastes should be radiopaque and easy to insert in the canal. ENDOMETHASONE N Powder has all the various above-described qualities.

Besides, this medical device has an anti-inflammatory ancillary activity due to the presence of hydrocortisone acetate.

INDICATIONS

Permanent root canal filling and sealing in dental procedures with systematic insertion of Gutta-Percha points.

ADVERSE EFFECTS

Risk of allergy to any of the constituents particularly in case of contact with gums.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

The treated tooth should be isolated (using a cotton roll or a rubber dam).

After carefully shaping the canal, cleaning it with an antiseptic solution, rinsing it and drying it with paper points, prepare the canal paste extemporaneously, progressively pouring the powder into the liquid (eugenol or ENDOMETHASONE Liquid) at a ratio of 2

spoonfuls of powder to 3-6 drops of liquid, until the paste has the consistency required for the selected filling technique:

• using a paste carrier
• and/or by coating Gutta-Percha points with a cement sealer for condensation techniques.

Then fill the root canal using a paste-carrier and position into the paste one or several Gutta-Percha points, which have previously been adapted to the canal shape.

Take X-rays to ensure that root canals have been thoroughly filled.

INTERACTIONS

Do not use in combination with composite materials, since eugenol- based preparations inhibit their polymerisation.

SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

As with any other root canal sealer, a canal can only be sealed if it has previously been reamed, cleaned and disinfected thoroughly.

Determine the working length of the root canal before filling so as to prevent any apical extrusion, since the paste is not resorbable.

Due to electrostatics, ENDOMETHASONE N, as all powders, tends to agglomerate in the bottle. However, the capacity mentioned on the label corresponds to the weighed contents. It is therefore important to shake the bottle before use in order to loosen the powder.

C – Corrosive (contains thymol iodide). N – Dangerous for the environment.

Harmful if swallowed. Causes burns.

Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

In case of contact with eyes or gums, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.

In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible).

Do not empty into drains, dispose of this material and its container at hazardous or special waste collection point.

STORAGE

Do not store above 25°C and protect from moisture.
