DSI ApexSil Silver is a novel root canal sealer with unique advantages.
It is a Polydimethylsiloxane-based self-curing, antibacterial root canal sealer fortified with nanosilver.
This 2-in-1 product, also known as "liquid gutta-percha," is used with guttapercha for effective root canal sealing. With superior radiopacity and impressive sealing capacity, ApexSil Silver combines a sealer and cold gutta-percha with particles no greater than 30µm. The addition of silver in chemical form acts as a preservative.
It does not shrink while offering a minor expansion capacity of 0.2%, combined with remarkable adherence to gutta-percha points and dentin walls, ensuring an excellent seal and protection.
The incorporation of micro-silver particles provides added protection to the root canal. ApexSil Silver is completely iodoform-free, making it a safer option for dental practitioners and patients. It has shown astounding biocompatibility and has been proven safe for prolonged periods within the body. This cutting-edge solution allows for three-dimensional obturation without condensing, creating a permanent and impenetrable filling within the root canal every use.
This innovative sealer sets a new standard for root canal treatments, making it the top choice for dental professionals.
Indications: As a root canal sealer for obturation of root canals of permanent tooth.
