• Begin by performing the chemical and mechanical preparation of the root canal as per standard procedures.
• Flush the root canal with either sterile water or an EDTA solution to remove any debris or residual materials.
• Use paper points to dry the canal thoroughly.
• For the final irrigation, take the R4 solution in a disposable pipette, ensuring that the solution does not extrude beyond the apical foramen.
• Carefully introduce the R4 solution into the root canal, avoiding excessive force or pressure. Do not flush the canal.
• Remove any excess solution that could potentially interfere with the sealing process of the temporary crown restoration.
• If necessary, place a cotton pellet in the access cavity and hermetically seal it with a temporary filling, ensuring complete coverage of the cotton pellet.
• Each time you require more solutions, use a new pipette to prevent contamination.
• At the next session, which can be scheduled between 24 hours to 30 days later, repeat the process by flushing the canal with sterile water or an EDTA solution.
• Proceed with the chemical and mechanical preparation of the root canal and/or fill the cavity with a permanent filling, depending on the clinical situation and following routine procedures.
