Intended Use
Adseal is a biocompatible root canal sealer for permanent sealing of root canals following established endodontic procedures and may be used in conjunction with the auxiliary materials in the root canal (i.e. gutta percha points). Adseal is intended for use by qualified healthcare personnel trained in its use.
Device Story
Adseal is a two-component epoxy-amine resin root canal sealer; supplied in a dual-chamber plastic syringe with disposable applicator. Components (Paste A: epoxy resin; Paste B: amine) are mixed prior to insertion into prepared root canal. Device adapts to canal walls; provides long-term dimensional stability; minimal shrinkage upon setting. Used by dentists/endodontists in clinical settings during root canal procedures. Output is a set, biocompatible seal within the tooth structure. Benefits include permanent sealing of root canal space to prevent reinfection.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated against ISO 6876 standards for dental root canal sealing materials, including fluidity, working time, film thickness, radiopacity, and solubility/disintegration. Biocompatibility confirmed via ISO/TR 7405 agar diffusion testing.
Technological Characteristics
Two-component epoxy-amine resin paste system. Packaged in dual-chamber plastic syringe. Complies with ISO 6876 for dental root canal sealing materials. Biocompatible per ISO/TR 7405. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for permanent sealing of root canals following established endodontic procedures in patients requiring root canal therapy; may be used with auxiliary materials like gutta percha points. Intended for use by trained healthcare personnel.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A root canal filling resin is a device composed of material, such as methylmethacrylate, intended for use during endodontic therapy to fill the root canal of a tooth.

### 1.6 Indications for Use:
Adseal is a biocompatible root canal sealer for permanent sealing of root canals following established endodontic procedures and may be used in conjunction with the auxiliary materials in the root canal (i.e. gutta percha points).
Adseal is intended for use by qualified healthcare personnel trained in its use.
### 1.7 Device Description:
Adseal root canal sealer is a two component paste:paste device based upon epoxy-amine resin chemistry. This sealer is easy to mix and adapts closely to the walls of the prepared root canal and provides outstanding long-term dimensional stability with minimal shrinkage upon setting.
The device consists of tow components, the epoxy resin paste (Paste A) and the aminecontaining paste (Paste B); portions of which are mixed prior to insertion into the root canal. This two component system reacts via an epoxide-amine chemical reaction to cause setting. It may be used in conjunction with the auxiliary materials in the root canal (i.e. gutta percha points).
