If root canal retreatment is required, the filling material must be removed. Knowing the risks of using only mechanical methods to remove the filling material, several techniques are proposed, requiring the use of solvents in all of them.
Most root canal filling techniques use endodontic cement and gutta-percha cones. Gutta-percha is a material basically made of a plant resin and is soluble in chemical solvents, such as orange terpene.
The filling cements that contain rosin are also dissolved by the orange terpene, as rosin is a vegetable resin.
Orange essential oil is also effective in the unobturation of root canal filled with Zinc Oxide and Eugenol cement.
Citrol is an alternative for performing a new endodontic treatment, with high solvency capacity for gutta-percha cones. It is an essential oil, volatile, extracted from the sweet orange peel, with a pleasant odor.
1 bottle with 10ml of Citrol.
