Active compound is highly effective anti-inflammatory cortisone derivative (triamcinolone acetonide) combined with a broad-range antibiotic (demethylchlortetracyline).
Therapeutical results: Rapid relief of pain associated with acute pulpal and periodontal inflammations
CONTAINS : 5g
- Triamcinolone acetonide 10.0 mg
- Demeclocycline calcium 30.21 mg
THERAPEUTIC INDICATION :
- Prophylactic pulpitis treatment:
- Conservative treatment of acute pulpits (“pulpitis acuta”) while maintaining pulp vitality.
- Treatment of acute periodontites (initiating root canal treatment in total purulent pulpitis and gangrene).
LEDERMIX™ PASTE is indicated for use as an intracanal medicament in teeth undergoing root canal treatment5,6 in the following situations:
1. Acute irreversible pulpitis.
2. Acute apical periodontitis due to an infected root canal system. Other medicaments then need to be used as subsequent dressings (e.g. calcium hydroxide) to ensure maximum disinfection since the demeclocycline has a limited antibacterial spectrum of activity.
3. Inflammatory root resorption - both internal and external - as the initial dressing when the resorption is established. Other medicaments then need to be used as subsequent dressings (e.g. calcium hydroxide) to promote hard tissue repair.
4. To prevent the development of inflammatory resorption10,11,35 following avulsion of fully developed teeth and other injuries (e.g. intrusion of fully developed teeth) where this type of resorption is likely to occur. Its use in these situations may also reduce the amount of replacement resorption that can occur following these injuries.35
5. To reduce post-operative pain by reducing the periapical inflammation.7,8 If the pain is associated with an infected root canal system, then other medicaments then need to be used as subsequent dressings (e.g. calcium hydroxide) to ensure maximum disinfection since the demeclocycline has a limited antibacterial spectrum of activity.
6. To inhibit & reduce the number of bacteria within infected root canals. Other medicaments then need to be used as subsequent dressings (e.g. calcium hydroxide) to ensure maximum disinfection since the demeclocycline has a limited antibacterial spectrum of activity.
LEDERMIX ™ PASTE can also be used as a pulpotomy agent in the emergency management of acute irreversible pulpitis5,6 - in these cases, it should only be used as an interim pain relief measure that must be followed by more comprehensive treatment such as pulpectomy and root canal therapy.
