- Reduces the risk of instruments fracturing by acting as a lubricant
- Helps to flush out debris
- Canal walls free of smear layer due to EDTA and its softening effect
- Chemically cleans and removes smear layer thanks to urea peroxyde
- Complete removal by rinsing due to its completely water-soluble formulation.
Description
Dentsply Glyde is a combination of EDTA and carbamide peroxide specifically formulated to provide cleansing of the root canal preparation. The polyethylene oxide base used in Glyde acts as a lubricant to facilitate shaping of the root canal using rotary and hand instrumentation. Glyde allows for cleansing action that facilitates easy removal of vital pulp tissue and necrotic pulp tissue. Glyde is designed to be used with endodontic irrigation with sodium hypochlorite solutions. Oxygen bubbling occurs through the release of oxygen from the carbamide peroxide. This action allows for pulp tissue, dentinal shavings and debris to be easily removed. Glyde encourages lightening of the tooth if discoloration exists from non-vitality. The use of sodium hypochlorite with Glyde promotes internal bleaching of the tooth. This process is enhanced by the release of oxygen from the carbamide peroxide. Also, Glyde leaves an appropriate internal canal surface for penetration of other medicaments used in endodontic therapy by more completely cleaning the canal and opening dentinal tubules.

Direction to Use
- Rinse with sodium hypochlorite and make the first entry into the canal using the first manual or rotary instrument.
- Apply the Glyde File Prep straight into the cavity using the disposable tip or the single-use pack.
- Reinsert the first instrument and begin to prepare the canal.
- Rinse with hypochlorite and apply the Glyde™ again into the access cavity (also available in very practical disposable doses).
- Continue preparing the canal alternating with sodium hypochlorite and Glyde between each instrument.
- Once the canal has been shaped, rinse it with plenty of sodium hypochlorite until the effervescence subsides.
- Dry and fill.
