APPLICATION TECHNIQUE
Administer anesthesia and establish complete isolation.
Disinfect the canal thoroughly.
Perform mechanical preparation.
Dry the canal with absorbent paper cones, without causing excessive dryness.
Position the applicator tip 2 to 3 mm below the CRT and inject BIO-C® SEALER into the canal retroactively.
Insert the gutta percha cone(s).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The technique recommended by the company is to use it with cones, as the cement is more difficult to remove if needed, due to its bioceramic characteristics.
The setting time is ≤ 240 minutes and depends on local humidity.
No, moisture, which initiates the material setting, comes from apical tissues and dentinal canaliculi.
BIO- C SEALER has no resinous base. Its viscosity is given by a long-chain alcohol, the polyethylene glycol. Therefore, the product is more biocompatible and easier to clean.
The storage should be in a dry ventilated place and it SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN THE FRIDGE.
BIO-C SEALER contains in its composition calcium silicate, which in contact with the local humidity is hydrated, producing a hydrated calcium silicate structure and calcium ions and hydroxyl. A part of the material in the form of calcium ions and hydroxyl can be absorbed rapidly in contact with periradicular tissues if accidentally overflown. However, hydrated calcium silicate is a silica matrix, which together with the radiopacifier (zirconium oxide), represents the insoluble part of the product, and present high chemical stability, being difficult to absorb or solubilize.
Yes, the product can be used for both single and accessory cone techniques.
BIO-C SEALER is 100% bioceramic, non-resinous and ready-to-use bioceramic sealer. MTA-Fillapex is a resinous bioceramic cement (salicylate resin), pastexpaste, with 13% bioceramic charge in the product.
It is possible to perform 10 to 12 root canals.
Yes. In the root canal filling techniques that use gutta percha heating, the maximum temperature reached by the equipment is 200°C. The BIO-C SEALER is stable at this temperature, unlike some other root canal sealers that degrade at temperatures close to 144ºC.
The “alkaline reaction” is the hydration reaction of the product which, in contact with the moisture of the environment produces Ca(OH)2 - calcium hydroxide and contributes to the increase in pH|alkalinity. Clinically, this hydration reaction depends a lot on the conditions of the root canal where the sealer will be inserted, which is a more or less humid canal. Under standardized conditions of humidity, the hydration reaction - "alkaline reaction" - takes an average of 28 days, however this process occurs in phases (I, II, III, IV and V) with variation in the amounts of Ca(OH)2 produced in the long-term.
The best biological reaction occurs with the BIO-C SEALER, due to its smaller particle size, which ends up being more reactive, and also the concentration of calcium silicate in the formulation.
When using BIO-C SEALER (or MTA-Fillapex), it is possible to proceed with the restoration of the dental element in the same session.
The bioceramic root canal sealer can be removed with gutta-percha solvents (such as citric acid or eucalyptol), and with hand files and/or mechanized files, or using ultrasonic inserts
Yes, if the preparation is not carried out immediately after the root canal filling, you should wait for the complete setting of the sealer and then proceed with the preparation for the placement of the post.
There is no need for any specific conduct. It is recommended to follow the case, and check remission of signs and symptoms
BIO-C SEALER is only recommended for permanent teeth.
