Consultants’ Comments

“Excellent radiopacity.”
“The material has great flowability and opacity.”
“There was some lateral canal penetration observed.”
“I like the antimicrobial properties.”
“The dispensing tips are too large to fit into most canals.”

Description

BioSeal™ is a ready-to-use, injectable, bioceramic endodontic sealer. It is an insoluble, radiopaque material based on calcium silicate and calcium phosphate, which requires the presence of water to set and harden.

Unique Attributes

Combines calcium silicate, calcium phosphate, bioactive glass, chlorhexidine, and biomimetic polymers
Hydroxyapatite producing
Antibacterial
Hydrophilic
Highly Radiopaque

Clinical Tips

Dry canals moderately, use slight pressure to inject, and withdraw the syringe as you inject.
Don’t overfill and place the material in the canal slowly with very light pressure.
Lightly coat gutta percha with the sealer.
The sealer has low viscosity, so it’s not necessary to pump the gutta percha.
Extrude the sealer onto a mixing pad and deliver with the gutta percha or a lentullo spiral to control how much sealer is placed into the canal.

Indications

Permanent root canal filling and sealing applications.

FQ Endodontic System

by Dental Advisor | Sep 12, 2023

Komet’s FQ is a rotary, heat-treated endodontic file system that safely, efficiently, and reliably treats the toughest root canal cases.

Seamless Solution for Complex Canals

Efficiently removes debris in the most complicated cases with its double-S cross section and narrow instrument core.
Offers extreme flexibility and a larger chip space because of its patented variably tapered file core. (Only for instruments with taper .06)
Broad range of files allows clinicians to adapt to specific treatment cases while preserving the natural canal anatomy.
The heat-treated NiTi file is less likely to separate due to its high cyclic fatigue resistance

Procodile Q

by Abigail | Nov 18, 2022

Komet’s Procodile Q is a left-cutting (reciprocating) heat-treated endodontic file system.
With a completely new file design, Procodile Q can allow for even safer and more efficient root canal preparation.
Its innovative, variably tapered file core makes it more efficient, flexible and ideal when shaping a root canal and completing a high-quality preparation.

Heat-treated: Increases file flexibility, making the file easier to bend and improves efficiency when shaping root canals
Variably tapered file core: Allows for optimal preparation of root canals and increased file adaptability due to diameter of core decreasing towards the shank
Effective substance removal: Variably tapered file core increases chip space and infected tissue is removed from the canal more effectively
Increased safety: Up to 300 % more resistant to cyclic fatigue, decreasing the risk of file fracture

Evaluators’ Comments

“Best cutting efficiency for any single-use burs that I have used.”
“Cut smooth with no chatter on the teeth.”
“Excellent quality. They were virtually indistinguishable from multi-use burs.”
“In today’s heightened sensitivity to infection control, a single-usebur is a huge advantage.”
“They cut better than a typical single-use bur. I was able to do an entire quadrant and felt like it was just as good at the end of the procedure as it was at the very beginning.”
“Consistently cut very fast and smooth.”
“With multi-use burs, sometimes you find it needs to be replaced as you get started. It was nice knowing that I definitely had a sharp and new, ready to cut bur for the procedure.”
“I require a lot of different shaped burs for direct and indirect procedures, endodontics, and surgical procedures; so, I prefer having a bur block with everything I need on it. It would take a considerable amount of time to set up for each procedure with only single-use burs.”
