Reps Brad Morrison and Frank Reid told Endo Tribune that the system was designed with two key objectives in mind: flexibil- ity and fracture resistance. Roydent Dental Products featured its wide array of products, including MAP (Micro Apical Placement) Systems. These kits are designed to provide an efficient method for placing root canal repair ma- terials by orthograde or retrograde obtu- ration. Essential Dental Systems (EDS) pre- sented Irritrol, a single-step endodontic irrigation solution formulated for use as a final rinse after sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Irritrol contains chlorhexadine (CHX) and EDTA to disinfect the root ca- nal and remove the smear layer. Accord- ing to EDS, it has a proven disinfection rate of 99.99 percent.
