DSI Apex Paste Calcium Hydroxide

APEX-C

DSI Apex Paste Calcium Hydroxide is a special solution used in endodontics for root canal treatment. It is an antibacterial premixed paste composed of water base Calcium Hydroxide and barium sulfate, which makes it easy to clean and remove as it is water-soluble. This product stands out as its radiopacity ensures easy visualization under X-ray imaging during the process. It is designed to provide patients sensitive to iodoform with the same root canal treatment without causing any discomfort. Not only can this be implemented in apexification procedures, but also in chronic periodontitis and injured pulp regeneration and pulpitis on both permanent or underdeveloped teeth.

The antibacterial effect of the DSI ApexPaste structure is enhanced due to its elevated calcium hydroxide content, forming an alkaline environment. This not only helps protect against bacteria but also encourages pulp regeneration and promotes secondary dentin growth. In addition, it also can dissolve organic tissue, making it ideal for management at the canal apex.
