Three-In-One Disposable EndoKit Simplifies Root Canal Therapy

Centrix’ EndoKit assembles three disposable products that make root canal therapy quicker and easier when calcium hydroxide is indicated. Each single-use foil pouch contains a MicroAspirator® tip, a Calciject™ calcium hydroxide paste tip and a moisture-activated Tempit® sealer.  With this kit there is no mixing and no mess – just dry, medicate and seal.

STEP 1. Dry – MicroAspirator 18ga Single-use Canal Dryer

  1. Simply attach to HVE handpiece, bend needle, and aspirate.
  2. Insert one paperpoint and check for dryness.  If not dry, aspirate again.
  3. If dry, remove from vacuum line and dispose of properly after use.
  4. Note: solid matter or highly viscous liquids may not pull through theMicroAspirator. The clear tubing will allow you to check and see if aspiration is taking place.

STEP 2. Medicate- Calciject .2g Calcium Hydroxide Paste (10°C – 24°C  /  50°F – 75°F)

  1. Remove Calciject cartridge from package. Pull off sheath cover and insert into any Centrix C-R syringe (Recommend Snap-Fit Syringe).
  2. Test first on pad. Squeeze with slow, steady pressure.
  3. Bend needle as needed and inject into canal.
  4. After use, remove Calciject cartridge and dispose of properly.

STEP 3. Seal – Tempit.35g Moisture Activated Temporary Filling (10°C – 24°C  /  50° F – 75° F)

  1. Remove cap.
  2. Place tip into any Centrix C-R syringe (Recommend Snap-Fit Syringe).
  3. Place cotton pellet over Calciject.
  4. Squeeze syringe with a slow, steady pressure and inject into a moist cavity.
  5. Tamp down with a wet instrument and dismiss patient.
  6. On return visit, remove Tempit with explorer. Insert through material into cotton pellet, turn 45° and pull.

Intended to be used for less than 30 consecutive days.

When drying, the transparent MicroAspirator tip is faster than paper points and makes it easier to monitor the evacuation. Calciject contains a bacteriostatic fine-grain calcium hydroxide paste, is radioopaque and is pre-filled in a bendable NeedleTube™ syringe tip to give better placement results than spiral paste fillers down the canal.  Quick-setting Tempit is placed directly in the prep and seals the canal in minutes.

The EndoKit is available in a box of 10 procedure packs.
