Clinical Cases: Calasept

Calasept Plus & Calasept are pure calcium hydroxides. The very high concentration of >41% in combination with optimal calcium ion release generates the extremely efficient and long-lasting bactericidal effect, i.e. killing bacteria. Calasept Plus & Calasept are radio-opaque.

Pulp capping

Two cavities after pulpotomy of two small lesions, showing haemostasis in the mesial, first prepared cavity (arrow) and cessation of bleeding in the distal cavity (pic.1). 
Appearance of hard-tissue barrier 3 months after pulpotomy (pic.2).

Stepwise excavation

After gross excavation, the deepest layer of carious dentine will be covered with Calasept (pic.1).  
After 6 weeks the cement was removed, Calasept washed away and the excavation of the carious dentin completed without pulp exposure (pic.2). 

Temporary root-filling

The radiograph of 35 with periapical osteitis (pic.1).  
3 months later the periapical radiolucency has been replaced with new bone promoted by the Calasept (pic.2)
