What is EDTA dental
EDTA has a variety of applications in dentistry, mainly in the following areas.
Content Tables
- Root canal treatment.
- Tooth desensitization.
- Regenerative endodontic therapy.
- Pretreatment and mixed use.
- Oral detergent.
- Summary.
1. Root canal treatment.
Cleaning and lubrication: EDTA solution is often used to clean the pulp and bacteria from inside the root canal of a tooth during root canal treatment. It removes calcified material and dirt from the root canal and improves the effectiveness of root canal preparation.
Removes mineralized tartar: EDTA can also help remove mineralized tartar and improve the cleanliness of root canals.
2. Tooth desensitization.
Desensitizer: EDTA is used as a dental desensitizing treatment agent to help reduce reactions to external stimuli and relieve symptoms of tooth sensitivity.
3. Regenerative endodontic therapy.
Tissue regeneration: In endodontic regenerative therapy, EDTA acts as a biological sclerosant to help stimulate tooth regeneration and repair.EDTA promotes the growth of osteoblasts and therefore may be used in dental regenerative medicine to help regenerate damaged pulp tissue.
4. Pretreatment and mixed use.
Combination with other drugs: EDTA can be used in combination with other drugs, for example, with antimicrobial agents such as chlorhexidine (Chlorhexidine) in root canal treatment to enhance the therapeutic effect.
5. Oral detergent.
Preventive effect: Some oral care products may contain EDTA to help remove heavy metal ions from the mouth and maintain oral health.
Summary
EDTA is used in dentistry in the areas of root canal therapy, tooth desensitization and pulp regeneration, where its ability to remove calcified material and microorganisms makes it an important tool. When using EDTA, dentists choose the appropriate concentration and method of application based on individual patient conditions and specific needs. In application, the judicious use of EDTA can help improve the effectiveness of dental treatment.
