Sherbet Calcium Hydroxide
Calcium hydroxide (calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2) in powder, a material for intra-root therapy in the treatment of various forms of periodontitis, irreversible pulpitis, and perforations of the root of permanent teeth with formed apices to stop bleeding from the root canal.
Calcium hydroxide is mixed with saline solution to a creamy consistency; the effectiveness of this method has been proven by numerous studies.
PH=12 guarantees complete destruction of organic tissue in the tooth canal within 2 weeks.
Calcium hydroxide causes the formation of new cement over 2 to 4 weeks and sometimes completely seals the apex of the canal.
Promotes better adhesion of MTA to tooth cement; it is recommended to use it before closing perforations.
Calcium hydroxide improves the antibacterial effect on the second visit by up to 100%.
Scheme for using calcium hydroxide: Measure the working length of the canal and mark it with a stopper; Mix calcium hydroxide powder in saline. solution or chlorhexidine solution to a creamy consistency; Dip the canal filler and insert into the canal 1 mm less than the working length; Activate the rotation of the channel filler; Repeat points 3.4 several times; Close the tooth cavity with a temporary sealed filling with a layer of at least 3 mm.
Rules for high potency calcium hydroxide:
Open the root canal to at least size 30-35; The correct consistency is creamy. Administration only with a channel filler according to the scheme of use.
Before adding calcium hydroxide to the canal, it is necessary to remove the smear layer from the walls using liquid EDTA.
The minimum residence time of calcium hydroxide in the root canal to dissolve organic matter is 2 weeks, the maximum holding time is 4 weeks.
After application, a sufficient amount of canal irrigation is necessary.
