Question : What is Dentsply Glyde?
Answer: Dentsply Glyde is a combination of EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and carbamide peroxide. It is specifically formulated to provide cleansing of the root canal preparation.

Question : How does Glyde work?
Answer: Glyde works by using its polyethylene oxide base as a lubricant to facilitate shaping of the root canal using rotary and hand instrumentation. It allows for a cleansing action that helps in the easy removal of vital pulp tissue and necrotic pulp tissue.

Question : Can Glyde be used with other substances?
Answer: Yes, Glyde is designed to be used with endodontic irrigation with sodium hypochlorite solutions. The use of sodium hypochlorite with Glyde promotes internal bleaching of the tooth and enhances the cleansing process by releasing oxygen from the carbamide peroxide.

Question : What is the role of carbamide peroxide in Glyde?
Answer: The carbamide peroxide in Glyde releases oxygen, which leads to oxygen bubbling. This bubbling action helps in the removal of pulp tissue, dentinal shavings, and debris from the root canal.

Question : Does Glyde have any additional benefits?
Answer: Yes, Glyde encourages lightening of the tooth if discoloration exists from non-vitality. It also leaves an appropriate internal canal surface for the penetration of other medicaments used in endodontic therapy by more completely cleaning the canal and opening dentinal tubules.

Question : How is Glyde used in endodontic therapy?
Answer: Glyde is used as a lubricant during the shaping of the root canal. It is applied and used in conjunction with endodontic irrigation solutions, such as sodium hypochlorite, to facilitate cleansing and internal bleaching of the tooth.

Question : Can Glyde be used in all types of root canals?
Answer: Glyde is suitable for use in both rotary and hand instrumentation of root canals. It can be used in a variety of root canal cases to aid in cleansing and shaping.

Question : Is Glyde safe to use?
Answer: Glyde has been specifically formulated for use in endodontic therapy and is generally considered safe when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. However, it is important to follow proper safety protocols and guidelines during its use.
