Waldent Seal-Pex

Dosage and mixing:-

• Powder and liquid are mixed on a glass slab using a metal spatula.
• 2 to 3 volume units of powder are mixed with 1 volume unit of resin.
• Mix to a homogeneous consistency which breaks when lifted 1.5 to 2.5 cm (1/2 to 1 inch) above the glass slab.
• If a particularly fluid mix is required, the glass slab with the cement mixture may be carefully warmed over an alcohol flame.

Step-by-step instructions:-

• Apply the mixed cement onto the tip of a lentulo spiral.To avoid the formation of air bubbles in the material and overfilling of the canal, advance the lentulo spiral slowly to the apex running at very low speed.
• Withdraw lentulo very slowly, still running at low speed.
• If seal-pex is used in combination with gutta percha points or other cores and if there is the risk of overfilling, use reamers to apply seal pex into the canal.
• Choose a reamer of the size of the last instrument used during apical root canal preparation.
• Place seal pex by a pumping action of the reamer with simultaneous rotary movement in a counter clock direction.
• It is only necessary to apply a light coating of seal-pex.
• Dip the disinfected and dry master point into seal pex and with pumping motions slowly push it into the canals.
• Additional gutta percha points and lateral or vertical condensation methods can be applied.
