DSI Apexsil Silver

When it comes to preserving oral health and achieving optimal aesthetic outcomes, choosing to treat and retain the natural teeth whenever possible is the wisest decision. Thanks to advances in endodontic treatment and technology, in numerous cases extractions can be avoided and many teeth can be saved. Endodontically treated teeth serve patients years after the procedure, improving their quality of life.

The outcome of root canal therapy depends on proper canal shaping, effective cleaning, and obturation of the canal space. Execution of the final phase is the cornerstone of successful root canal treatment. Obturation is critical for preventing the reinfection of the canal and preserving the health of the periapical tissues.

DSI ApexSil Silver stands out from traditional root canal filling systems by offering a remarkable 2-in-1 solution, setting a significant milestone in the development of endodontic treatment. DSI ApexSil Silver is a cold flowable self-curing obturation material with incorporated nanosilver particles  that combines two products in one single material - a VPS sealer and gutta-percha in particle form with a particle size of less than 30µm. This groundbreaking formulation seamlessly integrates gutta-percha with a highly effective root canal sealer, allowing for optimal flowability and easy manipulation during application. 

DSI ApexSil Silver boasts exceptional flow properties, providing ideal distribution throughout the canal. Its thixotropic nature enhances its adaptability within the complex root canal anatomy, ensuring complete sealing.

Being practically insoluble, DSI ApexSil Silver provides optimal protection from degradation by tissue fluids. 

DSI ApexSil Silver exhibits a slight expansion of 0.2%, resulting in superb dimensional stability and a tight seal. 

It serves as a crucial component of achieving a hermetic seal by filling accessory canals, voids, spaces and irregularities, and the interface between the core material and the dentin wall. 

The power of nanosilver particles, incorporated in DSI ApexSil Silver, sets new standards for sealing efficacy and antimicrobial protection, paving the way for more effective and advanced root canal therapy.

Nanosilver particles demonstrate potent and long-term antimicrobial activity, targeting a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria that are commonly encountered in root canals. 

Moreover, the inclusion of nanosilver particles improves the flow and adaptation to the root canal walls, leading to a better seal and reduced microleakage. This drastically reduces the risk of reinfection, ensuring a more successful and long-lasting root canal treatment.

Endodontically treated teeth have been proven to be more susceptible to fracture than vital teeth. Therefore it’s imperative to reinforce the remaining tooth structure, and obturation is the key element in this procedure. Having a high bond strength to dentin, ApexSil Silver enhances the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. 

The biocompatibility of DSI ApexSil Silver with surrounding tissues and minimal inflammatory response ensure a comfortable and well-tolerated treatment experience for patients undergoing root canal procedures.

DSI ApexSil Silver serves as a crucial component of achieving a hermetic seal by filling accessory canals, voids, spaces and irregularities, and the interface between the core material and the dentin wall. DSI ApexSil Silver possesses outstanding physical properties – high radiopacity, insolubility in tissue fluids, little polymerization shrinkage, thixotropy, excellent tissue compatibility, and exceptional adhesion to both the canal wall and gutta percha points, allowing the dentist to achieve a completely impervious seal.
