Description

In the need to perform root canal retreatment, the filling material must be removed. Knowing the risks of using only mechanical methods to remove the filling material, several techniques are proposed, and it is necessary to use solvents in all of them.
Most root canal filling techniques use endodontic cement and gutta-percha cones. Gutta-percha is a material basically made up of a vegetable resin and is soluble in chemical solvents, such as orange terpene.

Filling cements that have rosin in their composition (e.g. N-Rickert, Pulp Fill), are also dissolved by the orange terpene, as rosin is a plant resin.

Orange essential oil is also effective in unfilling root canals filled with Zinc Oxide and Eugenol cement.
CITROL is an alternative for performing a new endodontic treatment, with great solvency capacity for gutta-percha cones. It is a volatile essential oil, extracted from the peel of the sweet orange, with a pleasant odor.

ADVANTAGES

• Potent solvent;
- Fast acting;
- Pleasant odor;
- It is non-toxic;
- Easy handling;
- Effective in dissolving rosin-based filling cements and pure Zinc Oxide and Eugenol cements.
