Pulpdent introduces Forendo Paste
WATERTOWN, Massachusetts--Pulpdent Corporation has introduced Forendo Paste, a non-setting, premixed calcium hydroxide paste with iodoform for root canal therapy.
Forendo Paste is a temporary or permanent endodontic filling material that promotes healing and inhibits bacterial growth in the root canal.
Forendo Paste contains calcium hydroxide and iodoform in a silicone oil base. It has a pH greater than 12 and is radiopaque. The paste is bactericidal and bacteriostatic.
It is recommended for routine use as a disinfecting root canal dressing between office visits to prevent flare-ups and for treatment of infected root canals, abscesses, periapical lesions, perforations, exudation, root resorption, traumatic
injuries, and for apexification and apexogenesis.
Forendo Paste can be used alone as a temporary canal disinfectant, in conjunction with gutta percha for permanent filling, and for vital pulpectomies in deciduous teeth.
Forendo Paste is a new addition to Pulpdent's clinically proven range of calcium hydroxide pastes for root canal therapy that also includes Pulpdent Paste, TempCanal and Multi-Cal. It is available through dental dealers.
Pulpdent manufactures high-quality products for the dental profession, including adhesives, composites, sealants, cements, etching gels, calcium hydroxide products, endodontic specialties, and bonding accessories.
