Coltene Roeko Canalbrush

Approximately 35-40% of the root canal surface remains unchanged after preparation with an instrument.

• CanalBrush is a highly flexible endodontic brush made of polypropylene.
• It is used during root canal treatments to remove dentin, plaque and other impurities loosened by files and drills.
• The extremely small CanalBrush helps cleaning parts of the root canal which are not reached by files.
• The use of CanalBrush in connection with an irrigating solution (e.g. NaOCl, NaCl, H2O2, alcohol, CHX) increases considerably the cleaning effect of irrigating solutions on the root canal surface.
• CanalBrush can be used manually with a rotary action. However, it is more efficient to use it with a contra-angle handpiece at a maximum of 600 rpm.

Advantages:

• better cleaning effect than with files, without enlarging the canal
• very flexible, lower risk of breakage
• can be autoclaved at 134°C before use
• can be used to place post cements or adhesives
• with endo stops for length control
• This brush is not to be used for agitating a chelating agent in the root canal (according to US Patent no. 6,179,617).
