Chloroform Dip Technique Is One Of The Methods To Increase Adaptation Of Gutta-percha Master Cone At The End Of Root Canal
The dipping technique is based on gutta-percha’s property of becoming soft when dipped in chloroform.
When softened and forced into the root canal, a guttapercha point may be given the exact three-dimensional form of the root canal space
Introduction
Chloroform dip techniqueThe terminal 3 mm of gutta-percha
master cone is placed in chloroform for 1 second and then compressed in to the
canal
Then after 25 seconds it is emitted, covered with sealer and replaced into the root canal.
Finally, the root canal is obturated using lateral condensation technique
Quality of seal of apical irregularities
Dipping
Apical impression
The Dipping Technique Has Been Advocated By Some For Use Without A Sealer
due to the fact that the surface of a gutta-percha point has a certain stickiness in the softened condition. However, as stressed above, gutta-percha alone cannot seal the root canal. When the solvent has evaporated, the point loses its
stickiness and gaps will develop between the point and the root canal wall. Thus, the use of a sealer is mandatory with all gutta-percha techniques
Unfortunately!
Misconception
Why
To ensure better adaptation of the gutta percha cone, chloroform is used in dip technique .
1 -The cone is dipped in a small amount of chloroform and then fit into the canal .
2-The cone is inserted and removed a few times in order to take an "impression" of the apical portion of the canal.
3 -It is important to remove the excess chloroform by rinsing the cone in alcohol and drying it with an air syringe for a full 30 seconds.
4 -Excessive chloroform present in the gutta percha cone can result in shrinkage of the filling material and loss of gutta percha integrity . And may ba occure irritation to periapical tissue . Finally these problems can affect apical seal
