Abstract

A composition for endodontic irrigation is provided. The composition includes a chemical depilatory during intra-canal, and chemo-mechanical instrumentation in endodontic. The composition includes calcium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and potassium thioglycolate or calcium thioglycolate to form an effective root canal medicament. Further, the composition may incorporate mineral oil, urea, cetearyl alcohol, D&C yellow No. 8, chromium hydroxide, theobroma cocoa seed butter, iron oxides, fragrances, and ceteareth-20 to enhance its functioning. The composition disinfects, lubricates, chelates, irrigants, dissolves, and facilitates removal of the pulpal tissue and debris. Furthermore, the composition reduces and even eliminates bacteria from micro-endodontic systems. Further, the composition of the present invention enhances eradicating pathogens along with chemo-mechanical debridement of the root canal system.

Claims (9)

1. A composition, for use in endodontic irrigation, tissue dissolution, disinfection, and lubrication, and eradicating microorganisms from dentinal and enamel surfaces of a tooth, inorganic surfaces, bony surfaces and connective tissues, and for facilitating chemo-mechanical debridement of root canal systems, wherein the composition consists of: calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium thioglycolate, water, mineral oil, urea, cetearyl alcohol, D & C yellow No. 8, chromium hydroxide, theobroma cocoa seed butter, iron oxide, a fragrance, ceteareth-20, and coconut oil; and wherein the mineral oil is included in the composition to fill surface cracks, the urea is included in the composition to retain moisture, prevent infections and inflammation, and the cetearyl alcohol is included in the composition to enhance viscosity.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is used in a root canal treatment and inside a hard bony cavity.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the calcium hydroxide creates an alkaline environment.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the sodium hydroxide breaks down chemical bonds.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the potassium thioglycolate breaks down disulphide bonds in pulpal tissues of pulp of a tooth.

6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the composition degrades structure of pulpal tissue for removing the pulpal tissues and soft tissue within a hard bony cavity.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is used in long bones and in preparing skeletons for museums.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is effective on prepared surfaces, unprepared surfaces, and in removing smear layer on dental walls.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is capable of dislodging calcifications that lie within root canal system and in hard bony cavities by weakening attached connective tissue as well as removal of soft tissue from pulp of a tooth.
