Cerkamed CALCIPAST
Calcium Hydroxide Paste for Temporary Root Canal Filling
Cerkamed CALCIPAST is a ready-to-use calcium hydroxide paste for temporary root canal filling. It is a radiopaque, non-hardening material with a high alkaline pH, designed for professional endodontic use during temporary intracanal dressing and selected deep cavity pulp-capping workflows.
Temporary intracanal dressing
CALCIPAST is intended for temporary root canal filling during dental treatment. The calcium hydroxide content provides a strongly alkaline environment and supports temporary endodontic dressing workflows.
- Ready-to-use calcium hydroxide paste
- For temporary root canal filling
- High pH: 12.5–13
- Radiopaque for visibility on radiographs
- Non-hardening material
Deep cavity and pulp-capping context
Cerkamed also lists CALCIPAST for temporary filling of deep cavities during indirect or direct pulp capping. It can be used where a temporary calcium hydroxide dressing is clinically indicated.
- Temporary filling of deep cavities
- Indirect pulp-capping workflows
- Direct pulp-capping workflows where appropriate
- Remineralising effect on dental tissues
- Supports restoration of damaged periapical tissues
Toothsaver clinical view
Calcium hydroxide remains a useful temporary endodontic dressing, especially where a high-pH intracanal medicament is required between visits. CALCIPAST is convenient because it is supplied as a ready-to-use syringe paste rather than a powder-and-liquid mix.
The key clinical point is removal before definitive obturation or bonding. CALCIPAST is non-hardening and should be carefully removed from the root canal before the final root filling. Residual material may affect dentine bonding to restorative materials.
Single syringe or Mega Pack?
Choose the option that best matches your usage level and endodontic case volume.
| Option | Best suited to | Clinical comment |
|---|---|---|
| Single syringe 2.1g | Occasional endodontic use or topping up stock | Useful when you need one syringe for routine temporary dressing workflows. |
| Mega Pack 4 × 2.1g syringes | Higher endodontic usage or multi-surgery stock | Better option for practices using calcium hydroxide regularly. |
Clinical applications
CALCIPAST is intended for professional dental use where a temporary calcium hydroxide dressing or temporary deep cavity filling is required.
- Temporary root canal filling between visits
- Intracanal calcium hydroxide dressing workflows
- Temporary filling of deep cavities
- Indirect pulp-capping cases where appropriate
- Direct pulp-capping cases where appropriate
- Use before definitive root filling, following full removal of the paste
Why calcium hydroxide?
Calcium hydroxide is used in endodontics because of its high alkalinity. CALCIPAST provides this in a ready-to-use, radiopaque paste format for temporary clinical application.
- Strongly alkaline pH
- Convenient syringe delivery
- Radiopaque material
- Non-hardening, temporary formulation
- Designed for removal before final treatment stages
Removal before final filling
CALCIPAST should be carefully removed from the root canal before final obturation. The presence of residual formulation may affect bonding of dentine to restorative materials.
Use your preferred irrigation, activation and mechanical removal protocol to clean the canal before definitive obturation or restoration.
Suggested workflow context
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and your own clinical protocol. In a typical temporary dressing workflow:
- Isolate the tooth appropriately, normally with rubber dam.
- Prepare, disinfect and dry the canal according to your protocol.
- Apply CALCIPAST into the canal using the supplied applicator system.
- Place an appropriate temporary restoration.
- At the subsequent visit, remove CALCIPAST thoroughly before final obturation.
- Proceed with definitive root filling and restoration as clinically indicated.
Important safety information
CALCIPAST is for professional dental use only. Do not use in patients with hypersensitivity to any of the product components.
The product may irritate the oral mucosa and skin and can cause serious eye damage. Use rubber dam, disposable gloves, eye protection or visor, and protective clothing when handling the product.
In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help. If ingested, do not induce vomiting; drink plenty of water and seek medical help.
Carefully remove CALCIPAST from the canal before final filling. Do not use as a definitive root canal sealer or permanent filling material.
Storage and handling
- Store in the original packaging.
- Close the syringe securely after use.
- Keep out of reach of children.
