Currently, there are no studies which show the effectiveness of these solvents on F3 ProTaper Universal Gutta-percha points. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 2002; 93 : 611–616.

My removal method has been coronal 1/3, middle 1/3, apical 1/3; eliminating gutta percha in a crown-down manner.

The oil, if rich in cineol, solidifies when surrounded by a freezing mixture; it dissolves resins readily, but does not dissolve gutta-percha. The gutta percha is first thermosoftened with heat and then a 35, 40, or 45 hedstroem file is passively rotated clockwise into this mass. Eucalyptus oil is the generic name for distilled oil from the leaf of Eucalyptus, a genus of the plant family Myrtaceae native to Australia and cultivated worldwide.

Gutta-percha has proven to be the material of choice worldwide for successful obturation when used in combination with a root canal sealer. Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of eucalyptus oil, orange oil, and clove oil in dissolving resin-coated Gutta-percha (RCGP) cones. Cones of each …

In the present research, we evaluate the efficiency of many natural oil as solvents for softening gutta-percha in root canal retreatment procedures. PRESENTED BY: R.MANTHRU NAIK 2. Materials and Methods: RCGP cones (EndoREZ,) (n = 70) and conventional GP cones (n = 70) with ISO size 25 and 4% taper were used for the study. A root canal model was used to test the relative efficiency of various commonly used endodontic solvents including eucalyptol, eucalyptus oil, orange oil, chloroform, and xylene to dissolve or soften gutta-percha and several different types of sealers (Proco-Sol, AH26, and Sealapex).

Eucalyptus oil has a history of wide application, as a pharmaceutical, antiseptic, repellent, flavouring, fragrance and industrial uses.

From: Drlovely Ahuja To: NEXUS Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2015 Subject: Tricks to remove gutta percha I want to know what are your tricks to remove gutta purcha?

Orange oil is an excellent alternative solvent compared to potentially toxic solvents, being used either on zinc oxide eugenol cement or to soften and dissolve gutta-percha .

D-Limonene (Refined orange oil) is found widely in citrus and many other plant species and is a major constituent of many essential oils.

Let the gutta percha cool and harden within the blades, and upon withdrawing the hedstroem file, oftentimes the entire mass of gutta percha will be removed as well.

To achieve three-dimensional fluid tight seal of root canal system To achieve total obliteration of root canal space so as to prevent ingress of bacterias and body fliuds into root canal space as well as egress of … This study aims to compare the commonly used gutta percha solvents namely chloroform, xylene, benzene, eucalyptus oil and orange oil.

Eucalyptus oil is an essential oil commonly used as a solvent to remove old gutta-percha when performing endodontic re-treatment procedures. Abd-El Rhman (2015) Effect of Certain Essential oils on Dissolution of Three Commercial Gutta-percha Brands, Journal of Essential Oil Bearing Plants, 18:5, 1126-1137, DOI: 10.1080/0972060X.2014.960278

Essential oils, such as orange oil and eucalyptus oil, have been reported to be safe and useful for this purpose (5, 8, 9). Besides rectified white turpentine, white pine oil, pine needle oil, orange oil, and d-limonene,10, 12, 13, 14 eucalyptol (1,8-cineole), of which there is 75% in eucalyptus oil, has been evaluated as a gutta-percha solvent.10, 11, 14, 15 For years I have recommended nickel titanium rotary instruments to augur gutta percha out of canals. The oils of various species of Eucalyptus differ in many respects. Obturation materials 1.

Materials and Methods: About 240 samples of root canal sealers (eighty for each sealer) were prepared and divided into four groups of 20 each for immersion in different organic solvents.

Gutta-percha points alone cannot completely seal the space between the dentinal walls, root canal irregularities, lateral and accessory canals and spaces between gutta-percha points used in lateral condensation.

The ProTaper Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the dissolution effectiveness of eucalyptus oil, orange oil, xylene, and distilled water on three different endodontic sealers. The leaves of selected Eucalyptus species are steam distilled to extract eucalyptus oil. Article Google Scholar

The objective of this study was to evaluate the dissolution effectiveness of eucalyptus oil, orange oil, xylene, and distilled water on three different endodontic sealers. Xylene is chlorinated hydrocarbon commonly considered as gutta percha solvent.
