5. Irrigate the Canal
The cleaning of the shaped root canal sytem is accomplished primarily through the use of copious
irrigation with NaOCl. Irrigants can be activated using a cavitation and acoustic streaming device or
ultrasonic irrigation needle.
The activated irrigants improve debridement and disrupts the smear layer and biofilm inside the
canal, promoting deep cleaning and disinfection of lateral canals, fins, webs, isthmuses,
anastomoses, and dentinal tubules. Dry the canal thoroughly using absorbent points.

When the final shape is a .04 taper, select a GUTTACORE
last file taken to working length. When the final shape is a .06 taper or larger, select a GUTTACORE
Obturator package of the same size as the last file taken to working length.
Set the top of the silicone stopper on the GUTTACORE
length established. Calibration rings are set at the following working lengths (in millimeters): 18, 19,
20, 22, 24, plus 27 and 29 on the obturator handles.
7. Asepsis
Disinfect the obturator in a 5.25 sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach) for one minute.
Gently wipe the gutta-percha on the GUTTACORE
8. Drying the Canal and Applying Sealer
Use a sterile paper point of the same tip and taper as the last file taken to working length. Brush a very
light coating of sealer (TOPSEAL
reaches working length, use an additional paper point to remove any excess sealer that may have
accumulated on the canal walls or pooled in the apex. If obturating more than one canal in a single tooth,
place sealer in all the canals at the same time. This facilitates removal of excess gutta-percha by
preventing the gutta-percha from sticking to other orifices or dentin.
