Nowadays in the specialized shops and on the trading Internet sites you can find a lot of medical supplies. Sometimes it is not easy to understand this diversity, while professionals and consumers are looking for additional information and are interested in reviews about this or that tool.

Calcsept is a popular calcium hydroxide based material that is used in dentistry for processing and filling channels and has an antiseptic effect.

Composition and Forms

The preparation is a pasty, packaged and syringe having no odor and taste, withhigh content of alkali.

The medical device consists of the following components:

• calcium hydroxide;
• isotonic solution;
• of sulfate barium;
• iodoform.

There is also a Calcept variant without iodoform. Each package contains syringes( 2 pcs.) With a volume of 2.5 ml, which are packed in plastic cannula( 20 pcs.).

Properties and efficacy indices

When the purulent-inflammatory process that affects pulp and periodontium develops, the infection is capable of affecting other tooth tissues, moving along its canals.

In such a situation, the use of conventional methods and means of antiseptic use may not give the desired results, the bacteria will not die, and the infection will spread further.

For such cases, it is advisable to use the Kalsept paste. It is used in conjunction with traditional methods of antiseptic treatment. The agent performs the functions of additional channel protection and has an antiseptic effect with prolonged action, which will prevent further development of pathological processes in the dental tissue.

As the practical experience of application shows, after processing and sealing of dental canals by this composition, up to 95% of bacteria are guaranteed to die. This composition efficiency allows to stop inflammatory processes in tissues and prevent their further spread.

When the

is used The medical Calcsept paste is used in dentistry in the following situations:

1. For the treatment of infected tooth channels .The drug is used as an intracanal drug in the process of endodontic treatment of canals of the teeth affected by various infections.
2. For temporary filling of channels .Pasta is also suitable for setting a temporary filling, in cases when it comes to granulomatous or granulating periodontitis. The product allows to effectively disinfect the dental canals and maintain a high level of alkali content in them( up to 11-12 pH).A similar effect ensures the content of iodoform as part of the dental material.
3. As a medical pad for caries .Because of its high efficiency, the composition is also used in deep caries, in which case it acts as a medical pad to form a secondary dentin.
4. For antiseptic treatment of .When it comes to pyoinflammatory processes affecting periodontal and pulp tissues, this composition is necessary to prevent re-infection.

After processing the channels with this material, it penetrates deeply into the tissues, destroying pathogenic microorganisms and securely protecting teeth from further development of infection.

Instruction for use

When the material is used as an antiseptic means for decontaminating the channels, it is necessary to act in the following order:

• place the needle in the cartridge in the form of a syringe included in the kit;
• pierce the protective membrane and remove the cap from it, and then bend it so that the shape corresponds to the channel;
• squeeze the required amount of the agent and apply it to the area to be treated.

When filling, the composition is prepared in the same way, after which such manipulations are required:

• to free the space of the root canal from the pulp and softened infected dentin;
• treat fabrics with traditional antiseptic agents;
• complete the insertion of the cannula into the canal almost completely and fill the space with the composition;
• when the channels are curved, the agent is applied to the mouth, after which it is additionally laid using endodontic instruments or sterile turunda;
• seals the channels to the very top, and if they differ in poor traffic, leave it blank from 1 to 2 mm from the tops;
• after the manipulations the tooth cavity is filled with a special cement compound.

Special instructions

For safe and efficient use of the material, certain conditions for its use and storage must be observed:

1. Keep the preparation tightly closed, in a sealed package. Otherwise, calcium hydroxide( the main component of the composition) in contact with air is transformed into calcium carbonate, in other words, into ordinary chalk, after which it will lose all useful properties.
2. You can not freeze the material, low temperatures also contribute to the loss of the basic properties of the composition.
3. Place the product on storage in places with low humidity and air temperature in the range from +4 to +24 degrees.
4. Do not use the paste after the expiration date, which is 3 years, and 2 years after the packaging has been opened.
5. Since the formulation contains corrosive substances, it is necessary to avoid contact with the skin and mucous membranes, as well as in the esophagus and respiratory system. When the material has got on the skin or eyes, these areas should be washed immediately with plenty of clean running water.
6. If the formula is swallowed( even in infinitesimally small amounts), it is necessary to give the affected person milk, at least 0.5 liters at a time, after which they should be taken to a medical institution by the appropriate specialist.

The implementation of these recommendations will allow the effective and safe use of antiseptic composition.
