Thoroughly irrigating the entire root canal system – including isthmi and lateral canals – is an important step within the endodontic treatment process. It’s as crucial for the long-term success as challenging: the sensitive dentin structure needs careful handling, and the deeper areas of the roots are difficult to reach.
Made from a flexible polymer material, EDDY can easily go round curves, maintaining the integrity of the root canal anatomy. With vibration of 5,400 to 6,600 Hz, it creates a three-dimensional movement for an effective oscillation that triggers two cleaning effects: cavitation and acoustic streaming.
“Eddy irrigates the canal clean and is aggressive on biofilm but gentle on the tooth with no danger of ledges or perforations.”
Dr. Winfried Zeppenfeld, Germany
“If you compare the activation of irrigants with EDDY to other activation techniques, it is evident that EDDY triggers a cyclone.”
Dr. Mauro Amato, Switzerland
“After just a few seconds of using EDDY there is no debris visible on the entire root canal wall and NaOCI seems to work better.”
Dr. Vittorio Franco, England and Italy
