“Glyde is a combination of EDTA and carbamide peroxide specifically formulated to provide cleansing of the root canal preparation. The polyethylene oxide base used in Glyde acts as a lubricant to facilitate shaping of the root canal using rotary and hand instrumentation. Glyde allows for cleansing action that facilitates easy removal of vital pulp tissue and necrotic pulp tissue. Glyde is designed to be used with endodontic irrigation with sodium hypochlorite solutions. Oxygen bubbling occurs through the release of oxygen from the carbamide peroxide. This action allows for pulp tissue, dentinal shavings and debris to be easily removed. Glyde encourages lightening of the tooth if discoloration exists from non-vitality. The use of sodium hypochlorite with Glyde promotes internal bleaching of the tooth. This process is enhanced by the release of oxygen from the carbamide peroxide. Also, Glyde leaves an appropriate internal canal surface for penetration of other medicaments used in endodontic therapy by more completely cleaning the canal and opening dentinal tubules.
