Vista Apex's 17% EDTA solution is specifically formulated with a lower pH to maximize chelating performance during root canal therapy. Research shows that pH - not concentration - is the critical factor in EDTA effectiveness: as pH rises, the availability of calcium ions from hydroxyapatite for chelation drops significantly. A pilot study comparing EDTA solutions found that alkaline formulations (pH 11.3) were notably less effective at removing the smear layer than their lower-pH counterparts. Vista Apex's formulation is designed with this science in mind, delivering the performance clinicians need for predictable, high-quality endodontic outcomes.
