FOR OPTIMAL CLEANING OF THE ROOT CANAL SYSTEM WITH THE ESI ENDO SOFT INSTRUMENTS
Perfect obturation of the lateral canals in the apical third after using the ESI instruments.
Ultrasound activation of the ESI instrument for thorough cleaning of the root canal system.
The non-cutting ESI instruments have been developed to preserve the morphology of the root canal. Indeed, the design of our new instruments made of nickel-titanium offers the advantage of maximum flexibility in order to avoid any risk of canal deformation, perforation or ledging.
DISINFECTION OF THE ROOT CANAL
Hydrodynamic effects (acoustic streaming and cavitation) for successful endo treatment (*)
Iincreased effectiveness of irrigating solutions due to liquid vibration.
Improved antibacterial effect through slight warming of the irrigating solution.
Optimal cleaning of lateral canals.
(*) With ultrasound oscillations of 28'000 Hz or more, cavitation causes bacteria cells to implode (Ahmad 1987). Antimicrobial cavitation effects have been scientifically demonstrated for EMS Piezon® products (Baehni 1992, Jepsen 1997).
Acoustic streaming debrides the root surface due to the highly accelerated forces of the irrigant.

IRRIGATION OF ROOT CANAL
Mechanical instruments allow the elimination of up to 90% of intraradicular bacteria.
Bacteria present in the dentinal tubules cannot be eliminated mechanically.
Therefore, the use of an antibacterial irrigant is necessary.
