About this product
Calcium hydroxide paste with iodoform, formulated for enhanced antimicrobial action and effective intracanal disinfection. Ideal for managing infected canals and promoting healing. Smooth, flowable consistency ensures easy placement and thorough canal coverage, supporting reliable and predictable endodontic outcomes.
Description
Appa Plus is a calcium hydroxide paste with iodoform designed for use as a temporary or permanent root filling material. Packaged in a convenient syringe, it eliminates the need for messy mixing, allowing for quick and precise application during endodontic procedures.
Key Features
1. Calcium Hydroxide with Iodoform: • The active ingredients, calcium hydroxide and iodoform, are known for their combined antibacterial properties and ability to stimulate the healing process. • Calcium hydroxide works through the release of Ca²⁺ and OH⁻ ions, which promote hard-tissue deposition and help heal vital tissues. • Iodoform enhances the antibacterial effect and is resorbable, ensuring safety when in excess. 2. Radiopaque Properties: • Appa Plus is radiopaque, allowing for easy radiographic assessment of the canal filling, ensuring accurate placement and coverage during the procedure. 3. Antibacterial and Healing Properties: • The formulation has excellent antibacterial and bacteriostatic properties, making it ideal for treating periapical lesions, weeping canals, and root resorption. • It promotes apexification and apexogenesis, supporting the regeneration and healing of damaged root tissues. 4. Easy Application: • The paste comes in a syringe for easy, mess-free dispensing, allowing for precise placement in the root canal without overfilling or creating air pockets.
OTHER SPECIFICATIONS:
• Intracanal medication: Effective for use as an antimicrobial intracanal medicament. • Temporary root filling: Ideal for short-term root fillings in endodontic procedures. • Weeping canal and exudation: Treats exudative canals and helps control moisture within the canal. • Root resorption: Prevents further degradation of tooth structure. • Apexification and perforations: Encourages the closure of the root apex in immature teeth. • Periapical lesions: Promotes healing in cases of periapical infections.
Directions for Use:
1. Preparation: • Complete the bio-mechanical preparation of the root canal by disinfecting and thoroughly drying the canal. 2. Application: • Insert the tip of the syringe inside the canal and gently push the plunger to dispense Appa Plus into the canal. • Keep the dispensing tip loose in the canal and avoid applying excessive pressure to prevent overfilling. • Slowly withdraw the syringe as you fill the canal. 3. Finalization: • Ensure that the canal is evenly filled without creating air pockets. • Use a sterile cotton swab to remove any excess paste from the canal entrance before sealing.
Benefits:
• Promotes healing: Stimulates apexogenesis and supports the healing process for a wide range of endodontic conditions. • Antibacterial: Strong antibacterial properties ensure effective infection control. • Radiopaque: Enables radiographic confirmation of proper placement.
