Smooth Glide. Superior Cleaning.
RHOOS® ENDOPREP-X is a specially formulated 17% EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) gel used during the cleaning and shaping phase of root canal treatment.
It chelates calcium ions from calcified dentin, aiding in the negotiation of narrow, curved, or calcified canals while enhancing overall canal cleanliness.
The gel’s controlled viscosity ensures it remains within the canal, providing effective lubrication and smear layer removal without uncontrolled flow.
Key Benefits
Removes the inorganic smear layer, opens dentinal tubules, and improves penetration of intracanal medicaments and sealers.
Reduces friction between hand or rotary files and canal walls, helping to extend instrument life and reduce file breakage risk.
Softens calcified dentin, facilitating mechanical enlargement of narrow or blocked canals.
Stays in place during instrumentation for predictable performance.
Water-soluble and easily flushed out with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), saline, or water.
Clinical Indications
- Root canal cleaning and shaping procedures
- Canals with calcifications
- Narrow or curved canals requiring lubrication
- Smear layer removal prior to obturation
🧭 How to Use
Apply
Apply a small amount of RHOOS® ENDOPREP-X directly onto the file or into the pulp chamber.
Instrument
Proceed with hand or rotary instrumentation. The gel lubricates the canal and binds debris.
Irrigate
Irrigate with Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl). Effervescence helps lift debris coronally.
Final Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with water or saline before drying and obturation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – RHOOS® ENDOPREP-X
What is the function of RHOOS® ENDOPREP-X in root canal treatment?
RHOOS® ENDOPREP-X contains 17% EDTA which acts as a chelating agent. It softens calcified dentin, removes the inorganic smear layer, and lubricates the canal during cleaning and shaping procedures.
Can RHOOS® ENDOPREP-X be used with Sodium Hypochlorite?
Yes. RHOOS® ENDOPREP-X is compatible with Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl). When used sequentially during instrumentation and irrigation, it helps loosen debris and enhances smear layer removal for improved canal cleanliness.
Is this gel suitable for both rotary and hand files?
Yes. The controlled viscosity of RHOOS® ENDOPREP-X makes it suitable for both rotary and hand files, reducing friction and helping extend instrument life.
How should RHOOS® ENDOPREP-X be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place between 5°C and 25°C. Replace the cap tightly after every use to maintain gel consistency.
