Waldent Rct Prep is a specialized 17% EDTA Gel infused with Carbamide Peroxide, designed for lubricating and chelating root canals. EDTA creates a complex with dentine calcium, facilitating the enlargement of calcified canals, easing cleaning, and enhancing the formation of accessible tooth canals. When combined with sodium hypochlorite, RCT Prep paste produces foam due to the active release of chloride and oxygen, optimizing root canal treatment.
INDICATIONS :
- Used for chelating, lubricating, and debridement (cleaning and smear layer removal) of root canals during chemical & mechanical preparation of root canals.
ADVANTAGES :
1. Lubricate:
- Prevent the risk of instrument fracture.
- Helps in the smooth working of endodontic files.
2. Chelate :
- Easy Preparation of calcified canals.
- It helps to remove the inorganic substance by chelation.
3. Clean :
- Carbide Peroxide creates an effervescence effect with water & sodium hypochlorite.
- Helps in easy removal of vital & necrotic pulp tissue remnant, debris & dentinal flakes
Features
- It helps to remove the inorganic substances by chelation of calcium ions (EDTA-Ca).
- It helps to clean the canal wall by effectively removing the smear layer produced during instrumentation by endodontic files.
- It helps in the smooth instrumentation of canals because of lubricating properties. The lubricating action is because of the water-soluble base, which helps in minimizing the binding of Endodontic instruments during the chemo-mechanical shaping of canals.
- It provides a synergistic effect when used in combination with sodium hypochlorite. It releases oxygen from carbamide peroxide and produces the effervescent effect which helps in easy removal of vital & necrotic pulp tissue remnant, debris, and dentinal flakes.
COMPOSITION (w/w):

Driection to Use
- Isolate the tooth by using a choice of the separation technique.
- Proceed with an access opening and identify the canals.
- Attach the unit dose dispenser with the Waldent Rct Prep syringe. Before use, always check for snug-fitting to prevent any leakage.
- For better dispensing of Waldent Rct Prep, always hold the syringe in the palm firmly and use the pressure of the palm for controlled delivery.
- Once you have identified the orifice, apply the Waldent Rct Prep into the canal opening using a unit-dose dispenser.
- Gently negotiate the canal with the help of endodontic files.
- Always replenish with Waldent Rct Prep in between subsequent endodontic files.
- Once the canal shaping is done, flush the Waldent Rct Prep out of the canal with sodium hypochlorite and distilled water.
- Finish the bio-mechanical preparation with the choice of disinfectant to clean the canals.
- Dry the canal and proceed with the choice of obturation technique.
