EZ-Fill® - Obturation with control. Fill laterally not beyond the apex! |
| EZ-Fill's patented Bi-Directional Spiral and Epoxy root canal cement combined with a single point technique has been shown to create a seal equivalent to lateral condensation and thermoplastic gutta percha. -
Thoroughly coats the walls of the root canal and lateral canals without significant cement being forced apically. -
The reverse spirals on the apical end rotate in an unwinding direction out of the canal, and thus never bind.
- Unlike thermoplastic techniques there is no shrinkage upon cooling.

EZ-Fill®
Bi-Directional Spiral &
Epoxy Root Canal Cement
The simplest and most thorough
obturation system!
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Patented bi-directional spiral
Thoroughly coats the walls of the root canal and lateral canals without significant cement being
forced apically.
The reverse apical spirals rotate in an unwinding direction out of the canal, preventing binding.
Allows a coronal path of exit for excess cement,thus preventing it from going over the apex.
- Single gutta percha point technique
Additional cement is utilized, ensuring a proper seal.The cement works synergistically with the gutta
percha to assure a complete seal.
- No lateral stress on the root
Lateral or vertical condensation is not needed with the EZ-Fill technique.
- Room temperature obturation
Unlike thermoplastic techniques, there is no shrinkage upon cooling.The flow of cement at room temperature into lateral canals is superior to thermoplastic gutta percha.
Clear X-Ray viewing
- Non-eugenol, epoxy resin chemistry
Bonds chemically and physically to the dentin and gutta percha.No shrinkage: In fact, mild expansion to assure anintimate fit.Hydrophobic nature means highly resistant to water degradation to ensure a long lasting seal. Easily removed for post-hole preparation.Compatible with all bonding agents and
composites.Epoxy resins chemistry is backed by 50 years of clinical success.Subsequent composite techniques may be performed immediately.
Fills canals quickly without sacrificing quality.
The fast, easy, cost efficient, system for safe and thorough obturation!
The EZ-Fill system solves traditional obturation problems.
Prior to the development of the EZ-Fill bi-directional spiral and epoxy resin root canal cement, it was
impossible to coat the canal completely without high incidences of cement overfill. Gutta percha was traditionally used to occlude canals, requiring firm packing apically and laterally.Alternative thermoplastic obturation techniques were developed, but still occluded the coronal escape path forcing excess cement apically – potentially causing serious irritation. To compensate, these techniques require minimum cement use which results in a reduced interface between the dentinal walls and
gutta percha – a problem compounded by the shrinkage of warm gutta percha.
The EZ-Fill technique results in a more efficient seal that dramatically increases the cement to canal wall interface.
Thorough obturation improves the likelihood of longterm
restorative success. A recent two year recall
study using EZ-Fill bi-directional spiral and epoxy
resin root canal cement resulted in a success rate of
94.1% (This study utilized a sample size of 145
patients totalling 153 endodontically treated teeth).
Effective Apical Seal
The EZ-Fill technique produces an apical seal as effective as lateral condensation and thermoplastic techniques without forcing excess cement apically.The EZ-Fill obturation system employs the single point technique, allowing a coronal path of exit for excess cement. The result is thorough obturation with a single gutta percha point and epoxy resin interface.Total placement control and no stress to the root.For best results, use the Endo-Express™ & SafeSiders® series of patented, non-circular, non-interrupted flatsided endodontic instruments to clean and shape canals to a wider taper ideal for obturation with the EZ-Fill bi-directional spiral and epoxy resin root canal cement.
