Irritrol — available from Essential Dental Systems (EDS) — is a single-step endodontic irrigation solution formu- lated for use as a final rinse after sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Irritrol contains chlorhexadine (CHX) and EDTA to disin- fect the root canal and remove the smear layer. According to EDS, it has a proven disinfection rate of 99.99 percent. This two-in-one endodontic irrigation solution was recently evaluated by 25 Dental Advisor consultants in 424 uses. Irritrol endodontic irrigating solution received a 91 percent clinical rating (4.5 out of 5 stars). The majority of consul- tants said they would recommend and/ or switch to Irritrol. Comments from consultants included the following: • “During irrigation with Irritrol, an amazing amount of debris is eliminated from the canal. I could see it bubble out.” • “The green color makes it easy to identify and differentiate from other ir- rigating solutions.” • “Simplicity of using our two favorite irrigation products with one solution.” • “No waiting period for solution to work.” The consultants who reviewed this irri- gation solution rated the product highly for items such as efficiency, ease of use, color and integration into their endodon- tic procedures. Learn more by visiting EDS at AAE16, the annual session of the American Asso- ciation of Endodontists, April 6-9 in San Francisco, at booth No. 823.

Look for a solid track record. Ask how long the endodontist has been perform- ing root canals and how frequently he or she does the procedure. If your gen- eral dentist is suggesting a root canal, find out as much as possible about why you need it; then choose an experienced endodontist who has dealt with issues similar to yours. AAE members receive ongoing news and education on the latest research and technologies to help them stay at the forefront of the specialty. Some endodontists are also board certi- fied, which means they have successfully passed a number of rigorous exams be- yond their specialty training. Use the Find an Endodontist tool at www.aae.org to find an AAE member. 3. Ask about equipment. The most up- to-date endodontic equipment includes operating microscopes and rotary in- strumentation that make getting to the “root” of a dental problem easier and faster. Endodontists are more likely than general dentists to have the most ad- vanced equipment, but find out specifi- cally how the endodontist’s equipment will help during the procedure. Find out more about what you can expect during your visit with the specialist at www.aae. org/patients/root-canal-awareness-week. aspx. 4. Your endodontist will collaborate with your dentist on a treatment plan, and after a root canal, both should con- tinue to monitor the success of the pro- cedure. More information about the AAE and Root Canal Awareness Week is available online. Follow the AAE on Twitter at @savingyourteeth or search #rootcanal. To find an endodontist in your area, pa- tients can ask a general dentist for a re- ferral, or use the Find an Endodontist fea- ture at www.aae.org. (Source: American Association of Endodontists) Root Canal Awareness Week is a nationwide effort to encourage patients who need a root canal to see an endodontist to save their natural teeth.
