Instructions for Use
Description
ApexCal is a creamy, radiopaque, ready-to-use calcium
hydroxide paste with a pH above 12.5.
Composition
ApexCal contains calcium hydroxide and bismuth carbonate in a
mixture of water, glycerine, polyethylene glycol and other
supplementary agents.
Indication
– Temporary disinfectant dressing, applied during endodontic
therapy
– Indirect pulp capping or management of deep caries lesions
– Direct pulp capping
Contraindication
1. Direct pulp capping after exposure of the pulp in carious
dentin, if:
– the area of exposure is larger than 1 mm
2
,
– a completely dry field cannot be established
– the treatment of the tooth cannot be completed in one
appointment
– the tooth concerned is already causing discomfort.
2. Direct and indirect pulp capping if the pulp damage is
irreversible
3. ApexCal should not be used in patients with a known allergy
to any of the ingredients listed.
Side effects
There are no known side effects to date.
Interactions
ApexCal may reduce the detrimental effect exerted on the
pulp-dentin complex by cements mixed with acids.
Application
Temporary disinfectant dressing
If ApexCal is used as a temporary disinfectant dressing, it is
introduced directly into the prepared and dried root canal with
the enclosed application tip or a lentulo spiral, and then spun up
the canal to the apical region with the lentulo. Application may
be repeated, if necessary. Tight sealing of the endodontic cavity
using temporary filling material is essential in order to avoid the
contamination of the root canal system which can occur
between appointments.
