Why Choose AH Plus Root Canal Sealer from Dentsply Sirona
Root canal success depends heavily on the quality of the sealing material. AH Plus endodontic sealer has been formulated to meet the highest clinical expectations by providing:
- Consistent sealing performance
- Long working time for precise placement
- Low solubility to prevent microleakage
- Biocompatibility for patient safety
- Excellent handling characteristics
This paste-to-paste root canal sealer has become an industry benchmark in endodontic sealing materials due to its predictable results and ease of use in daily clinical practice.
Advanced Epoxy Resin Formula for Long-Term Root Canal Sealing
AH Plus is a two-component epoxy-amine resin sealer that forms a dense, stable seal within the root canal system. Unlike traditional zinc oxide eugenol sealers, this resin-based dental sealer exhibits low shrinkage, ensuring that the seal remains intact over time.
The epoxy formulation allows the material to chemically bond with dentin, creating a strong interface between the canal walls and obturation material. This results in improved sealing ability and long-term resistance to dissolution.
Key formulation advantages include:
- Low solubility in oral fluids
- High dimensional stability
- Strong adhesion to dentin
- Resistance to breakdown over time
Paste-to-Paste Mixing System for Accuracy and Efficiency
The 1:1 paste/paste system of AH Plus root canal sealer ensures:
- Fast and easy mixing
- Accurate dosage control
- Minimal material waste
- Consistent performance every time
This user-friendly mixing system eliminates guesswork and reduces chairside preparation time, allowing clinicians to focus on precision and patient care.
Excellent Flow Characteristics for Complete Canal Penetration
One of the most critical properties of a high-quality root canal sealing cement is its ability to flow into complex canal anatomy. AH Plus offers outstanding flow characteristics, enabling it to penetrate:
- Lateral canals
- Accessory canals
- Irregularities in canal walls
This ensures a three-dimensional seal, reducing the risk of voids and post-treatment failure.
High Radiopacity for Easy Post-Operative Evaluation
AH Plus endodontic sealer features excellent radiopacity, making it clearly visible on radiographs. This allows clinicians to:
- Verify complete canal obturation
- Detect voids or underfilled areas
- Perform accurate post-operative evaluations
High radiopacity improves diagnostic confidence and supports long-term treatment monitoring.
Outstanding Dimensional Stability and Low Solubility
Dimensional stability is essential for maintaining a long-lasting seal. AH Plus exhibits:
- Minimal expansion or contraction
- Extremely low solubility in tissue fluids
- Long-term sealing integrity
These properties contribute to a durable and safe root canal seal, reducing the risk of reinfection and treatment failure.
Biologically Inert and Highly Biocompatible
Patient safety is paramount in endodontic treatment. Dentsply Sirona AH Plus is:
- Biologically inert
- Non-cytotoxic when set
- Gentle on periapical tissues
Its biocompatible nature makes it suitable for routine and complex root canal procedures.
Silver-Free Formula for Esthetic Integrity
Unlike some traditional sealers, AH Plus is silver-free, eliminating the risk of tooth discoloration. This makes it ideal for:
- Anterior teeth
- Esthetic zones
- Cosmetic-sensitive restorations
Dentists can confidently use this dental root canal sealer without compromising tooth appearance.
Thermoplastic Properties for Easy Retreatment
AH Plus exhibits thermoplastic behavior, allowing it to soften when heat is applied. This makes the sealer:
- Easy to remove during retreatment
- Compatible with thermal obturation techniques
- Convenient for post placement or correction
Whether using chemical solvents or rotary instruments, clinicians can efficiently manage retreatment cases.
Extended Working Time for Precision and Control
With a four-hour working time, AH Plus provides ample flexibility during obturation. This extended working window:
- Prevents premature setting
- Reduces material waste
- Allows careful placement and adjustment
The eight-hour setting time further enables corrections before final hardening, enhancing clinical control.
Compatible with All Root Canal Filling Techniques
AH Plus is engineered to work seamlessly with:
- Cold lateral condensation
- Warm vertical compaction
- Thermoplasticized gutta-percha
- Single cone techniques
This universal compatibility makes it a versatile endodontic sealing material suitable for all clinical preferences.
