BIOPULP®
Product category: Dentistry and Endodontics
Packaging
Primary package: a plastic container with a lid and desiccant, containing 10 g of the product in a form of powder.
Use
Description of the action
Biopulp® is a calcium hydroxide strongly alkaline preparation (pH amounts 12.5±0.5). It has drying activity that has great significance in case of persistent inflammatory exudations. It causes dissolution of remains of the live pulp after extirpation procedure in anesthesia and dissolves organic remains in the canal areas inaccessible for instruments.
After placing the product in the canal occurs long lasting Ca2+ and OH- ions release.
Handling the product
- For rinsing decay cavities: place small amount of powder on the glass plate or a glass and pulverize with adequate amount of purified water until reaching milk-like suspension. Rinse decay cavities with this suspension.
- Using the product as a dressing, root canal inlay or canal temporary filling: knead small amount of powder on the glass plate using purified water until reaching consistence of a thin cream depending on intended use. Such paste can be used as follows:
- as a dressing in double visit method of indirect capping: place thicker layer of densely mixed paste leaving it in the cavity under the tight temporary filling for the period of 6 weeks until 3 months. After the aforementioned period the paste should be removed and the cavity cleaned then place single or double layer base;
- as an inlay during treatment of irreversible pulpitis, pulp necrosis and chronic inflammations of periapex tissues; insert the thin mixed paste to the canal previously chemo-mechanically prepared according to current endodontic procedures, e.g. using Lentulo and leave it there for three weeks;
- in case of temporary canal filling: condense well thick mixed paste in the canal previously chemo-mechanically prepared according to current endodontic procedures and replace every 2 months;
- in root fractures within alveolus: after fixation of a fragment in proximity of the crown, removal of the non-vital pulp and chemo-mechanical preparation according to current endodontic procedures, fill the canal with thick paste; replace the dressing several times in 3 months intervals. After formation of apex barrier in a crown fragment fill the canal leaving vital pulp in the apex part.
Storage conditions
Keep container tightly closed in a dry place.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Protect the product against contact with carbon dioxide from the air or breath because carbon dioxide after contact with calcium hydroxide forms inactive calcium carbonate. This reduces the concentration of active ingredient, which may have a negative influence on the success of the treatment.
Store in temperature 5ºC to 25ºC.
Any serious incident related to the product should be reported to the manufacturer and appropriate agency.
