Bioceramic Sealer Flows in All the Right Places

In an increasingly "material" world where endodontic sealers feel like a dime a dozen, it’s important to consider the fact that they’re not all created equal. Take, for example, BioRoot Flow, a bioceramic root canal sealer that contains both the highest quantity and quality of tricalcium silicate on the market. That’s because Septodont’s proprietary manufacturing process guarantees the purest form of calcium silicate available—ensuring a favorable tissue response and reduced risk of adverse reaction.

While Dr. Emery Cole enjoys these inherent benefits of BioRoot Flow in his Sumiton, AL, general practice, surprisingly, they don't explain why he switched from his previous root canal sealer. He was initially tempted to change products due to a much simpler reason—it was readily available from dental distributors and easy to order. After using the material to seal the deal on many of his endodontic cases, he discovered the benefits were two-fold. “I feel I’m getting the best results using BioRoot Flow,” said Dr. Cole. Let’s take a look at what helps to ensure those great results.

Easy to Use & Extrude

Septodont offers BioRoot Flow in a prefilled syringe, which means you can use it right out of the box. Simply extrude the material directly into the canals using your obturation  technique of choice.

For example, Dr. Cole described BioRoot Flow as working well with his preferred thermoplastic obturating system. In addition, he noted, “I’ve used both spiral fillers and direct inject syringes, and the direct injection seems to work best in my handling. It’s especially beneficial in difficult-to-access canals and for patients with limited opening.”

Proven Biocompatibility

Septodont has formulated BioRoot Flow to aid prevention of many adverse reactions associated with root canal therapy. For example, Active Biosilicate Technology creates a pure, resin-free calcium silicate material that limits bacterial growth and shrinkage. In addition, BioRoot Flow’s bioactivity prompts calcium ion release and mineralization. The result: less postoperative sensitivity.

Dr. Cole described reduced post-procedure sensitivity as a key benefit of BioRoot Flow over other sealers he’s used. “The lack of postop pain is obviously enjoyed by my patients,” he said. A group of dentists who participated in a Dental Product Shopper review of BioRoot Flow agreed. For example, Dr. Gary Johnson said, “The sealer has a record of superior biological properties due to its chemistry, and the high-purity tricalcium silicate minimizes the risk of contamination seen with similar products." He added that the m aterial's direct injection into prepared canals provides a superior result in less time. And Dr. Krista Kappus described completing molar endo on a sensitive tooth No. 2 using a bit of excess sealer on both mesial and distal canals. “The patient didn’t report any postop discomfort,” she said. 

Clinician and Patient Satisfaction

It’s not every day that you encounter a dental material that makes both clinicians and patients happy. However, BioRoot Flow accomplishes that feat with its ease of use, unique handling properties, technique flexibility, and innovative chemical formulation. Dentists can perform successful treatment, and patients experience little to know discomfort after. That’s a winning combination.
