Calasept Plus is a high-concentration calcium hydroxide paste (containing >41% calcium hydroxide) designed for endodontic treatment. It is known for its smooth, creamy consistency and high alkalinity (pH 12.4), which creates an effective antibacterial environment within the root canal system.
Key Features
-
High Concentration: Formulated with a high percentage of calcium hydroxide to ensure a long-lasting release of hydroxyl ions, maintaining a sterile environment between appointments.
-
Optimized Consistency: The “Plus” formulation features a smoother, more fluid consistency than standard pastes, allowing it to flow more effectively into lateral canals and apical irregularities.
-
Direct Delivery System: Supplied in 1.5ml syringes that can be used with flexible, luer-lock needles for precise placement deep into the root canal without air pockets.
-
Radiopaque: Features high radiopacity, allowing the clinician to clearly verify the depth and density of the filling on a digital X-ray or PSP plate.
-
Pure Formulation: Contains no oil-based components, making it easy to rinse out with irrigation solutions when the permanent obturation is ready to be placed.
Clinical Indications
-
Temporary Canal Dressing: Used as an inter-appointment medicament to eliminate residual bacteria after instrumentation.
-
Apexification: Stimulating the formation of a hard tissue barrier in immature permanent teeth with open apices.
-
Internal Resorption: Treating and stabilizing areas of internal root resorption.
-
Pulp Capping: Can be used for indirect pulp capping to encourage the formation of reparative dentin.
