With ready-to-use convenience, bioactive performance, and consistent flowability, BioRoot Flow helps simplify obturation without compromising outcomes
Bioceramic root canal sealers have quickly become one of the most exciting advances in endodontics, and as more manufacturers enter the category, choosing the right sealer matters. For Mark O'Banion, DMD, a board-certified endodontist practicing in Ohio, BioRoot Flow has earned a permanent place in his everyday workflow.
“I had used a few other bioceramic sealers before,” Dr. O’Banion recalled, “but when I tried BioRoot Flow, it became my go-to.”
Expanding Peace of Mind
When asked what sets Septodont's BioRoot Flow apart, Dr. O’Banion points to consistency—both in handling and performance. “Every once in a while, I’ll get a sample of another sealer and try it,” he shared. “But I’m not getting the same results, so I always go back to BioRoot Flow.”
Between its premixed formula and ready-to-use syringe with bendable tips, BioRoot Flow enables easy extrusion and precise intracanal placement. And unlike many competing products, which Dr. O’Banion often finds either too watery, pasty, or putty-like, BioRoot Flow offers the viscosity and flowability he wants, case after case.
Dr. O’Banion also cites BioRoot Flow’s biocompatibility and bioactivity as qualities that bring greater predictability—and peace of mind—to his procedures. Its pure mineral formulation expands slightly upon setting, creating a hermetic seal that resists shrinkage and limits bacterial growth.
Hydrophilicity is another advantage. “It’s always a challenge to get a canal completely dry, especially at the apex,” Dr. O’Banion noted. “I feel better knowing this sealer works well with some moisture.”
BioRoot Flow allows retreatment as needed and consistently delivers with single-cone techniques, where sealers shoulder more of the load. Even in complex cases involving multirooted molars, “being able to seal every canal to the tip of the root and knowing I’m using a biocompatible material gives me confidence,” he said. “With BioRoot Flow, I know I can reproduce good results, every time.”
Technique Flexibility, Team Simplicity
Another key advantage of BioRoot Flow is its compatibility with both cold and warm obturation techniques, giving Dr. O'Banion the flexibility to adapt his approach based on the case.
“Whether I use cold or warm obturation varies case by case, and my assistants aren’t always tracking which technique I’m planning to use on a given tooth,” he said. “Using the same sealer no matter what makes everything more streamlined—no one has to stress about which materials to get out, and we’re always going to have a great outcome.”
For clinicians looking to simplify obturation without sacrificing results, Dr. O'Banion has a simple recommendation: give BioRoot Flow a try.
"I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to work with," he said. "For me, it's been fantastic."
