Clinical Cases: Calasept

Calasept Plus & Calasept has a concentration fo calcium hydroxide of over 35%, giving a high amount of availible hydroxol ions. These generate the high pH of over 12 which has a pronounced antimicrobial effect.

Appearance of hard-tissue barrier 3 months after pulpotomy (pic.2).

Stepwise excavation

After gross excavation, the deepest layer of carious dentine will be covered with Calasept (pic.1).  
After 6 weeks the cement was removed, Calasept washed away and the excavation of the carious dentin completed without pulp exposure (pic.2). 

Temporary root-filling

The radiograph of 35 with periapical osteitis (pic.1).
