Study on ptfe tape as root canal isolation material in oral cavity

PTFE tape, which is commonly used as plumber’s tape is an inorganic, non-fibrous, ribbon like material. The aim of this study was to evaluate PTFE tape as endodontic spacer material and to compare it with commonly used spacer material that is cotton, in primary teeth.;Seventeen children undergoing pulpectomy of lower second primary molar bilaterally were included in the study. 

Cotton and PTFE tape were placed as spacers on each side randomly. Samples were taken from the access cavity at baseline and after seven days to check for microbial leakage. Spacer materials were also checked for microbial contamination.;The results revealed that there was a significant increase in the bacterial colony count after seven days in cotton group. The access cavities were also positive for microbial leakage in the cotton group where the spacers showed positive growth. In PTFE group only two samples showed microbial contamination of spacer and out of two only one sample showed contamination of access cavity along with spacer.;Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that PTFE tape performed better than cotton as endodontic spacer material. 

Thus, PTFE tape can be recommended as an endodontic spacer material as an alternative to cotton in primary teeth.

How to use PTFE tape

Teflon tape is a specialized type of tape used in plumbing to seal connections thoroughly, ensuring that pipes will not leak. This tape is also referred to as poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) tape, with Teflon being a trademark of the DuPont company. 
How to use PTFE tape
PTFE is a very interesting substance. From a plumbing point of view, it's important to note that it is very flexible and that it has immense tensile strength. When Teflon tape is used to wrap the threads of a pipe, the tape acts almost like putty, filling the space and preventing leakage. While it is possible to use plumbing putty for tasks like this, Teflon tape is quicker and easier, and often much neater, as well. 
Typically, PTFE tape is white, because this is the natural color of the substance. Some companies make color coded PTFE tape, with different colors being designed for different types of plumbing. The Teflon tape used for gas plumbing, for example, is thicker to prevent gas leaks, and it may be coded blue or yellow. The tape is not adhesive, tending to cling with pressure but being easy to move and reposition. 
This tape is designed for use in pipes with tapered threads. Tapered pipes are ideal for making a tight seal because the tapered design creates a wedge effect, sealing the pipe neatly so that nothing can leak out. To use the tape, a length is wrapped around the male or threaded end of the pipe, and then the female end of the pipe is connected. It is important to make sure that the Teflon tape does not overlap with the end of the pipe, as this can cause problems in the future, because the tape may block the pipe. 
Teflon tape is a very useful thing to keep around the house. Even if a plumber will be consulted to fix a problem, the tape can be used for a quick fix to keep things contained until the plumber arrives. People should be very careful around gas plumbing, as gas leaks can be quite dangerous, and they need to be handled by professionals. If a gas leak is suspected, the gas should be turned off and a gas professional should be called immediately.
How PTFE Works
Otherwise known as thread seal tape, PTFE tape is used on the male end of pipes (known as threads) before they are connected to other pipes. The film is made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic better known as Teflon. Because this substance is impermeable and malleable, it forms into a putty-like substance after it is wrapped around pipe threads and screwed into other pipes. The friction caused by screwing the pipes together activates the thread tape, creating an airtight seal and ensures that the pipes are properly jointed.
PTFE tape only works on tapered threads as opposed to parallel threads. This is because the tape works off of the friction created by tapered threads. Thread tape works as a sealant because it self lubricates as it is met with friction. Using too much PTFE tape can be harmful, as excess material can ooze out of the pipes, yielding exposed harmful chemicals.
Using PTFE Tape
An important aspect of PTFE tape is to make sure you use the right amount. The optimal amount is two times around the pipe in the opposite direction of the thread. If you find that you have incorrectly placed the thread tape and the pipe connection is crooked, you could find yourself with a difficult situation. The pipes could be too tight to unscrew. However, you may be able to fix this by removing the fixture that contains the pipe and sticking a screwdriver into the connection and pry it open.
Types of PTFE Tape
PTFE tape comes in a variety of colors, density and thickness. For the most basic plumbing projects, you will be able to use standard, white PTFE tape. However, for gas lines and more dangerous work, a more specialized type of thread tape may be necessary. The color of the tape doesn’t affect its performance, but may be selected based on the coloring of your pipe. There are standards in place that determine the classification of PTFE tape, taking into account factors such as width and density.

PTFE Thread Sealant Tape
Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film for use in sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads. It is also known by the genericised trade-name Teflon tape; while Teflon is in fact identical to PTFE, Chemours (the trade-mark holders) consider this usage incorrect, especially as they no longer manufacture Teflon in tape form. Thread seal tape lubricates allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, and it helps prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed. The tape also works as a deformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten, and instead making it easier to tighten.
Types
Thread seal tape used in plumbing applications is most commonly white, but it is also available in various colors. It is often used to correspond to color coded pipelines (US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand: yellow for natural gas, green for oxygen, etc.).In the UK, tape is used from coloured reels, e.g. yellow reels for gas, green for potable water.
* White – used on NPT threads up to 3/8 inch
* Yellow – used on NPT threads 1/2 inch to 2 inch, often labeled "gas tape"
* Pink – used on NPT threads 1/2 inch to 2 inch, safe for propane and other hydrocarbon fuels
* Green – oil-free PTFE used on oxygen lines and some specific medical gasses
* Gray – contains nickel, anti-seizing, anti-galling and anti-corrosion, used for stainless pip

Large relative molecular of PTFE, the lower one as hundreds of thousands, while higher one can up to one million or more (degree of polymerization of 104 orders of magnitude, while the polyethylene only 103). Degree of crystallinity is generally 90 to 95%, a melting temperature of 327 ~ 342 ℃. Molecule CF2 unit in PTFE arrange by zigzag shape, because the fluorine atom radius larger than the hydrogen, so the adjacent CF2 units can not cross exactly trans orientation, but form a spiral twisted chain, fluorine atom covering almost the entire polymer chain surface. This molecular structure explains various properties of PTFE. At temperatures below than 19 ℃ to form 13/6 helix; phase transition at 19 ℃, slightly unravel the molecular to form 15/7 helix.
Though the perfluorocarbon carbon – carbon bond and carbon – fluorine bonds are broken need to absorb energy 346.94 and 484.88kJ/mol, but PTFE depolymerization energy generate 1mol tetrafluoroethylene only need 171.38kJ. So in the pyrolysis, PTFE mainly depolymerizate tetrafluoroethylene. PTFE at 260,370 and 420 ℃ the weight loss rate (%) were 1×10-4, 4×10-3 and 9×10-2 per hour.

Thread Seal Tape

Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film for use in sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads. It is also known by the genericised trade-name Teflon tape; while Teflon is in fact identical to PTFE, Chemours (the trade-mark holders) consider this usage incorrect, especially as they no longer manufacture Teflon in tape form.Thread seal tape lubricates allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, and it helps prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed.The tape also works as a deformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten, and instead making it easier to tighten.

Typically the tape is wrapped around a pipe's thread three times before it is screwed into place. It is commonly used commercially in applications including pressurized water systems, central heating systems, and air compression equipment.

Types:Thread seal tape used in plumbing applications is most commonly white, but it is also available in various colors. It is often used to correspond to color coded pipelines (US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand: yellow for natural gas, green for oxygen, etc.). These color-codes for thread sealing tape were introduced by Bill Bentley of Unasco Pty Ltd in the 1970s. In the UK, tape is used from coloured reels, e.g. yellow reels for gas, green for potable water.


  • White – used on NPT threads up to 3/8 inch
  • Yellow – used on NPT threads 1/2 inch to 2 inch, often labeled "gas tape"
  • Pink – used on NPT threads 1/2 inch to 2 inch, safe for propane and other hydrocarbon fuels
  • Green – oil-free PTFE used on oxygen lines and some specific medical gasses
  • Gray – contains nickel, anti-seizing, anti-galling and anti-corrosion, used for stainless pipes
  • Copper – contains copper granules and is certified as a thread lubricant but not a sealer


Uses:Thread tape is appropriate for use on tapered threads, where the sealing force is a wedge action. Parallel threads may not seal effectively with or without tape, as they are intended to be sealed by a gasket.

Thread sealing tape is almost entirely applied by hand, although at least one machine is available for production wrapping of fittings.

PTFE tape is also commonly used in the stretching of body piercings, through a process known as taping, because it is inert and safe for this use. The wearer wraps layers of the tape around a plug, slowly increasing the size and thus slowly increasing the size (gauge) of the piercing.
