Maarc Sealmax+

Sealmax+ is an MTA based Bio ceramic root canal sealing material supplied in the form of powder and resin.

The powder and resin are mixed to produce a root canal sealing material of excellent sealing capacity and tissue compatibility. As a result of its close adaptation to the walls and hydrophobic nature, Sealmax + allows tight sealing of the root canal during obturation.

Indications:

• Permanent obturation of root canal of teeth with obturation point.

Features

• Filled with Bio-ceramics (MTA): Contains more than 20% of bio-ceramic material.
• No moisture required for setting: Activators in powders makes resin set.
• Calcium hydroxide release on surface when encounters moisture: Bio-ceramic fillers on surface when exposed to moisture releases ions and this raises pH of exposed surface, this also helps in inhibiting bacterial growth.
• Favours bone formation: Ion release enhances bone formation.
• Grain free.
• Ideal handling properties.
• Excellent radiopacity.

Key Specifications

Composition :

Sealmax + Powder: Calcium Silicate, Tantalum Oxide, Methenamine, Titanium dioxide.
Sealmax + Resin: Epoxy resin

Dosage and Mixing: Powder and resin are mixed to a homogeneous consistency at the ratio of 1:1 w/w on the mixing-pad or glass slab using a spatula. String test can be used to confirm the consistency, which breaks when lifted 1.5 to 2.5 cm (1/2 to 1 inch) above the surface.

Setting Time: The setting time is within 24-30 hours at body temperature after mixing as per instructions.

Working Time: Working time for Sealmax + ranges from 25 to 30 minutes after mixing the powder and resin in the prescribed proportion at a temperature range of 20-30°C.

Shelf life: (2 years from the date of manufacturing) not affected after opening if stored in a cool dry place. Keep the powder and resin containers tightly closed to avoid contamination.

Storage conditions: Keep Away from Direct Sunlight. Keep locked up and out of the reach of children. Store at a temperature between 10°C to 30°C.

Packaging

• 1 x 3gm powder
• 1 x 5ml liquid
• 1 x Dispensing scoop

Direction to Use

Preparation of the Root Canal:

● Prior to application of Sealmax +, thoroughly clean the root canal.
● If an irrigating solution has been used, it is essential to make sure that the canal is free of any traces of irrigating solution, to avoid reaction of Sealmax + with the irrigants.
● If sodium hypochlorite or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) are used alternatively for irrigation, use EDTA as the last irrigating agent.
● Thoroughly dry the root canal with paper points or by vacuum drying.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

● Apply the mixed Sealmax + onto the tip of a Lentulo spiral. To avoid the formation of air bubbles in the material and overfilling of the canal, advance the Lentulo spiral slowly to the apex running at very low speed. Withdraw Lentulo very slowly still running at low speed coating the walls of the root canal with the sealer.
● If Sealmax + is used in combination with other obturation points and if there is the risk of overfilling, apply Sealmax + in the canal using a spreader.
● Place Sealmax + by a pumping action of the spreader with simultaneous movement in a counter-clockwise direction.
● Dip the disinfected and dry master cone (gutta-percha) into Sealmax + and with pumping motions slowly push it into the canals. Additional gutta-percha points and lateral or vertical condensation methods can be applied for thorough obturation of the canal.
