Get a Closer Look at the 'Utopia' of Endo Sealers

Obturation is a make-or-break moment in endodontic treatment, and success often comes down to the materials used in the process. Take bioceramic sealers, for example.

“When I started using bioceramic sealers, it was a total game-changer in terms of the quality of care I was able to provide to my patients,” shared Reid Popple, DMD, a general dentist who owns Cobb Family Dentistry in Mableton, GA. Compared to traditional root canal sealers, bioceramics boast improved hydrophilicity, higher pH values, and resist shrinking upon setting—properties that promote a complete and long-lasting seal. And as Dr. Popple pointed out, bioceramic sealers are compatible with the single cone obturation technique,  which he prefers using for its relative speed and technical simplicity.

While bioceramic materials elevate endodontics across the board, not every product delivers equal results. It wasn’t until an endodontist colleague recommended EdgeEndo’s EdgeUtopia BioCeramic Sealer that Dr. Popple found an obturation solution that gave him the clinical consistency and confidence he was looking for—without breaking the bank.

Easy to Use—Every Time

In Dr. Popple’s experience, many bioceramic sealers decrease in predictability and efficiency after the first use—even when stored under ideal conditions. “When you go to use other products a day or two later, you’ll often find that they’ve become stiff and require heating before they flow,” he explained. On the other hand, EdgeUtopia BioCeramic Sealer features a premixed, ready-to-use formula with a small particle size and thin film thickness. Together, these qualities ensure that each 2-gram syringe yields consistent flow characteristics, superior handling, and maximum value.

While Dr. Popple reports that the viscosity of other sealers can frustratingly bend or “distort” gutta-percha upon placement, “with the Utopia sealer, I never have an issue,” he affirmed. “I know what to expect every single time I use it.”

He also praised the product’s “user-friendly” delivery system. “The tips fit really well into the canal and they’re easily bendable,” he shared, noting that combined with the material’s flowability, he’s no longer left guessing whether it was extruded where he wanted it to go. To top it off, EdgeUtopia BioCeramic Sealer can be used with any obturation technique, including those that involve heat, and is highly radiopaque for easy x-ray visibility.

A Flow to Write Home About

Like the best materials in its class, EdgeUtopia BioCeramic Sealer offers proven biocompatibility, optimal hydrophilic properties, a high pH of 12.5 to prevent bacterial growth, and resistance to shrinkage after it sets. And despite its exceptional value, Dr. Popple was happy to discover that the material is more affordably priced than competitive products.

Altogether, these qualities make it the only sealer he needs to meet the standard of care for his endodontic cases. “I’ve used a lot of different bioceramic sealers, but EdgeUtopia BioCeramic Sealer flows the best and gives me super consistent results at a reasonable price,” Dr. Popple said. “I’m extremely satisfied with it."
