Product overview

Inventory ID: 940-2275AA

RC-Prep is a chelating root canal preparation cream designed to support efficient instrumentation and canal negotiation during endodontic procedures. Its lubricating action reduces file binding while assisting with smear layer management. This Complete Buyer’s Guide helps you choose confidently and streamline endodontic workflows

What makes this product stand out?

RC-Prep combines lubrication and chelation to support smoother file movement and predictable canal shaping. The paste-like consistency stays in the canal to maintain control for clinicians during manual or rotary instrumentation.

Key advantages include:

  • Chelating action removes calcifications and manage smear layer
  • Lubricating cream reduces file binding and torsional stress
  • Paste consistency stays where placed
  • Excellent for use with apex locators for reliable readings
  • Reacts with sodium hypochlorite to lift pulp debris out of the canal

What is this product made of?

RC-Prep is formulated with glycol, urea peroxide, and EDTA in a water-soluble base designed to soften dentin, remove calcifications, and reduce friction during instrumentation. This combination of files advances smoothly while supporting debris removal during irrigation.

At-a-glance comparison:

  • Cream chelator vs liquid irrigant: improved lubrication during filing
  • Chelating prep vs lubricant alone: added dentin softening support

The formulation supports efficient canal preparation while helping protect endodontic instruments.

What is it used for?

RC-Prep is used during root canal procedures to aid in canal negotiation, shaping, and cleaning. It is applied directly into the canal before or during instrumentation to support smoother file progression.

Common applications include:

  • Initial canal negotiation
  • Manual file instrumentation
  • Rotary and reciprocating file systems
  • Narrow or calcified canals
  • General endodontic canal preparation
