Waldent RCTcal Calcium Hydroxide Paste (Water Based)

RCTcal is a radiopaque, water-based paste used in endodontic procedures, formulated with calcium hydroxide and barium sulphate. With a basic pH of ≥12.5, this paste is specifically designed for root canal filling.

It is ideal for temporary root fillings, serving as a liner for direct and indirect pulp capping, and for capping after pulpotomy. RCTcal's radiopaque properties allow for clear visualization on radiographs, facilitating accurate assessment and placement.

The paste's formulation ensures effective sealing and protection within the root canal, promoting a conducive environment for tooth health and healing. Its water-based nature enables easy removal with endodontic files and water, making it a practical choice for dental professionals seeking reliable endodontic dressing solutions.

Features: 

• Contains barium sulphate, which makes the paste visible on radiographs, allowing for easy assessment of placement and coverage in the root canal.
• Ensures smooth application and easy removal with water and endodontic files, facilitating a clean and effective filling process.
• Provides antibacterial properties and helps in neutralizing acidity, promoting favorable conditions for tooth healing and reducing the risk of infection.
• Maintains a high pH to enhance antimicrobial effects and support the biological response of the tooth’s pulp and surrounding tissues.
• Suitable for temporary root fillings, pulp capping (both direct and indirect), and capping after pulpotomy, offering versatility in endodontic treatments.
• Remains workable and does not harden until properly sealed, making it adaptable for various procedural requirements.
• Designed for use exclusively by dental professionals to ensure proper application and avoid cross-contamination.

• 4 x Dispensing Tips

Direction To Use: 

• Preparation: Complete the bio-mechanical preparation of the root canal. Disinfect and thoroughly dry the canal to ensure optimal conditions for filling.

• Application: Attach the dispensing tip to the syringe and gently insert it into the canal. Slowly push the plunger to fill the canal with RCTcal, ensuring even distribution of the paste. Keep the dispensing tip approximately 2mm short of the apex to avoid overfilling and creating air pockets.

• Finalization: Maintain a loose fit of the dispensing tip in the canal; do not apply excessive pressure. Use a sterile cotton swab to remove any excess paste from the canal entrance. RCTcal can be easily removed with an endodontic file and water if needed.

• Post-Application: Immediately recap the syringe after use to prevent contamination. Dispose of any leftover paste and do not use if the paste has hardened or dried out.

• Precautions: Ensure the paste is applied carefully to avoid contact with soft tissues and to prevent irritation.
