GT-Bio Active+ Bio Ceramic Root Canal Sealer
GT-Bio Active+ is a biocompatible, bioceramic root canal sealer designed for optimal sealing and bioactivity in endodontic procedures.
Description
GT-Bio Active+ is a bioceramic-based root canal sealer used in endodontic treatments. Bioceramic materials like those in GT-Bio Active+ are designed to be biocompatible, meaning they are well-tolerated by the human body. They are known for their excellent physico-chemical properties, which include being non-toxic, non-shrinking, and chemically stable within the biological environment.A key feature of bioceramic sealers is their ability to form hydroxyapatite, which can create a bond between the dentin and the sealing material, leading to a hermetic seal within the root canal.This sealing ability is crucial for preventing bacterial leakage, a common cause of endodontic failures. These types of sealers often have an alkaline pH, which can contribute to their biocompatibility and potentially offer antibacterial properties. They are designed to flow well to fill the root canal system, including lateral canals, and are typically radiopaque for visibility on X-rays.
-
Composition: Primarily calcium silicates, zirconium oxide (as a radiopacifier), and potentially other components like tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, and calcium phosphates.
-
Biocompatibility: High, non-toxic.
-
pH: Alkaline (often around pH 12 or higher initially).
-
Setting Time: Varies; may require moisture from dentinal tubules to set. Some bioceramic sealers are premixed and set over time.
-
Flow: Designed to flow adequately to fill canal irregularities, conforming to ISO standards (e.g., >20mm).
-
Film Thickness: Low, as per ISO standards, to ensure a close adaptation to canal walls.
-
Radiopacity: Sufficient for clear radiographic visualization.
-
Dimensional Stability: Minimal shrinkage or slight expansion upon setting.
-
Solubility: Low in tissue fluids.
-
Bioactivity: Ability to form hydroxyapatite and bond to dentin.
-
Presentation: Typically supplied in a pre-loaded syringe for direct intracanal application, often with disposable tips.
