COMPOSITION:
- Calcium Hydroxide 30.3%
- Iodoform (purest grade) 40.4%
- Silicone Oil (Medical Grade) 22.4%
- Inert 6.9%
- Easy techniques - Saves time and money Eliminate messy time-consuming mixing! Silicone oil based calcium hydroxide paste is pre-mixed with iodoform in a convenient pre-filled syringe.
- Tips are pre-bent to ensure excellent canal accessibility.
- This ensures shorter chair time and increases patient comfort.
- Quality of ingredients-Made in USA, Diapex is made from the purest grade iodoform, increasing Diapex’s bacteriostatic and radiopacity properties.
- Silicone oil ensures complete coating of canal walls and it never hardens so that calcium hydroxide remains active in the root canal, stimulating apexification and apexogenesis.
- It also allows for ease of manipulation and has superior flow characteristics.
- Quick and simple application Premixed paste eliminates messy mixing, packaged in a convenient syringe.
- Excellent accessibility to apex; plunger type placement improved radiopacity.
- Excellent antibacterial and bacteriostatic properties.
- Promotes apexification and apexogenesis.
Directions to use:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Temporary Method:
1. Clean and shape the canal
2. Insert the pre-bent tip into the apical fifth of root canal length
3. Fill the canal. Diapex does not set and can be removed during a subsequent visit using sodium hypochlorite.
Permanent Method:
1. Place a small amount of Diapex at the periapical portion of the canal to ensure apical closure
2. Complete obturation using normal Gutta Percha and Sealer techniques
3. Place a permanent restoration to seal the access opening.
