Guttaflow® Bioseal: Not Just For Filling, Also For Healing

GuttaFlow bioseal is a state-of-the-art obturation material used for sealing and filling root canals.
 
Hydroxylapatite crystals are formed on contact with the body’s own fluids. These in turn are natural components of bone and tooth tissue and support the healing process. This helps ENDO experts as well as beginners to create a lasting solution for their patients.

Owing to the slight expansion of GuttaFlow, the canal is sealed tightly. The increase in pH value over several weeks and the formation of the hydroxylapatite crystals support the healing process in the root canal.¹

Where endodontic filling materials remain in the body for many years, it is important that there are no adverse effects. In studies, conventional materials demonstrate toxic characteristics ranging from “marginally toxic”, “moderately toxic” to “severely toxic”, which has an effect on the tissue biocompatibility of the materials. Studies have confirmed that GuttaFlow is extremely biocompatible with tissue.²


Clinical investigations on conventional GuttaFlow are organised within the context of a multi-centre study under the direction of NIOM (Nordic Institute for Dental Material Testing) and conducted in clinics in

 Germany, Norway and the USA. The closing study report shows excellent healing results.On the basis of the PAI Scoring system, success rates of 0.7 - 0.8 were measured which were documented over a period of one year.³

Obturation under extreme conditions

Every endodontic treatment is different. But when the patient weighs over 150 kg, the canines are 14 cm long and the treating physician has half an hour to work before he risks his life, GuttaFlow literally saves him from the mouth of the lion!

Clinical Case Study: Root canal re-treatment success with BioRoot Flow

Clinical Case Study: Root canal re-treatment success with BioRoot Flow
CLINICAL CASE I By Dr. Lauren Kuhn Nuth. The success rate of non-surgical root canal treatment is high, however, inadequate obturation and inability to seal anatomical complexities can play a role in the long-term success of endodontic treatment. Traditional root canal sealers tend to shrink or wash-out—BioRoot™ Flow is a mineralbased, tricalcium silicate sealer with bioactive properties which slightly expands upon setting and has a high pH, therefore providing antimicrobial
properties.

The Menopause Symptom No One Talks About
An interview with Ms. Tatiana Brandt, MEd, RDH, Denmark. Menopause comes with a long list of symptoms most people can recite by heart – hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings. But there’s another change that often slips under the radar, even though it affects daily comfort, oral health, and overall wellbeing. Dry mouth, a surprisingly common yet rarely discussed symptom, can quietly reshape how women experience this stage of life.

Topical Fluoride Treatments – What do you prioritise?
Article by Stephen Langdon, Solventum Clinical Specialist. The first rosin based fluoride varnish was introduced way back in  the 1960’s and apart from the more recent inclusion of various forms  of calcium and phosphate in 2 or 3 commercially available varnish  options and a change to unit dose packaging, there has been very  little advancement in fluoride treatment technology for many years.
