Procedures
The IrriFlex® irrigation needle is used during the irrigation phase of root canal therapy:
Initial canal preparation: After shaping the root canal with hand files or rotary instruments, the canal is ready for irrigation to remove debris, the smear layer, and biofilm.
Insertion of IrriFlex® needle: The flexible polypropylene needle is inserted into the canal, easily adapting to its curvature without resistance or damage to the dentinal walls. The tapered shape ensures proper fit and access to the apical region.
Irrigant delivery: Irrigating solutions such as sodium hypochlorite or EDTA are introduced via the IrriFlex® needle. The two side vents deliver balanced, precise jets of irrigant aimed directly at the dentinal walls, ensuring thorough cleaning.
Debris and biofilm removal: The needle’s design maximizes shear forces and facilitates the effective elimination of debris, the smear layer, and biofilm while minimizing the risk of irrigant extrusion.
Coronal seal: The needle ensures steady fluid flow from the apical region to the coronal seal, leaving the canal clean and ready for obturation.
Key Benefits
Flexibility: The polypropylene body provides excellent flexibility, allowing the needle to navigate even complex canal anatomies with ease, reducing the risk of resistance or damage to dentinal walls.
Precision and effectiveness: The two side vents on a single plane deliver balanced and accurate jets of irrigant, ensuring thorough cleaning of the canal walls while minimizing the risk of apical extrusion.
Tapered design: The needle’s tapered shape matches the natural anatomy of the root canal, ensuring proper fit and optimized fluid flow for efficient irrigation.
Improved debris removal: Maximizes shear forces and enhances the removal of debris, biofilm, and the smear layer, leaving the canal clean and prepared for obturation.
Safety: Unlike conventional metal needles, the IrriFlex® needle eliminates the risk of canal perforation or damage to dentinal walls, providing a safer irrigation experience for both the clinician and the patient.
Efficiency: The design ensures consistent flow thickness of the irrigant, improving the irrigation process and saving chair time.
Patient comfort: The flexible and atraumatic design enhances patient comfort during the procedure by reducing the risk of resistance or pressure buildup within the canal.
Ample supply: A pack of 40 needles ensures sufficient stock for multiple procedures, making it a cost-effective solution for dental practices.
