Pulpdent Multi Cal Calcium Hydroxide Paste

Pulpdent Multi-Cal Calcium Hydroxide Paste

Pulpdent Multi-Cal is a smooth, creamy calcium hydroxide preparation recommended for all clinical applications where calcium hydroxide is indicated. It is ideal for temporary and intermediate root canal therapy, direct pulp capping, pulpal curettage, pulpotomy, dentin bridge formation, cavity lining, and indirect pulp capping.

Multi-Cal promotes healing by creating a highly alkaline environment and stimulating hard tissue formation. Its non-setting formulation allows easy placement and removal, making it suitable for both short-term and extended treatments.

Clinical Applications

• Temporary and intermediate root canal therapy
• Direct pulp capping, pulpal curettage, and pulpotomy
• Dentin bridge formation
• Cavity lining and indirect pulp capping

Indications

• Intracanal dressing between office visits
• Soothes “hot teeth”
• Promotes periapical healing
• Treatment of traumatic injuries
• Stimulation of apexification

Features

• Smooth and creamy consistency for easy placement
• Radiopaque for radiographic visibility
• High alkalinity (pH > 12)
• Non-setting formulation
• Suitable for root canal therapy
• Ideal for pulp capping procedures

Directions for Use

Multi-Cal is applied directly on the pulp in all pulp capping, pulpotomy, and pulpal curettage procedures. It stimulates the pulp to form a new dentin bridge, typically visible clinically after 2–3 months.

Directions for Direct Pulp Capping

• Attach a 22-gauge applicator tip to the Multi-Cal syringe and apply a very thin film on all exposed dentin
• Dry gently with a slow flow of air
• Place a 3 mm thick bead of Multi-Cal directly over the exposed pulp and dry with slow air until a crust appears (Multi-Cal does not set hard)
• Gently tamp the paste with a cotton pellet to ensure contact with the pulp
• Place a thin mix of hard-setting cement over Multi-Cal
• After the cement hardens, place the final restoration

Note: For vital pulpotomy and pulpal curettage procedures, gently pack the pulp with sterile cotton until blood clots, then proceed as above. A local anesthetic may be used.

Root Canal Treatment

Multi-Cal is used routinely as an intracanal dressing between office visits and as a dressing for cysts, abscesses, lesions, apexification, and other hard tissue formation procedures.

Directions for Root Canal Therapy

• Prepare and cleanse the canal using conventional techniques
• Attach a 22-gauge applicator tip and fill the canal with Multi-Cal
• Seal the access opening with your preferred cement
• Multi-Cal is easily removed with a file and irrigation
• For extended root canal therapy, replace the dressing every month
