MULTI-CAL Calcium Hydroxide Preparation
Instructions For Use

Directions for Cavity Lining and Indirect Pulp Capping:

  1. Apply a very thin film to the dentin.
  2. Dry with a slow flow of air until material appears chalky white (30 seconds)
  3. Remove from the enamel margins.
  4. When using glass ionomer and dentin bonding materials,
    place Multi-Cal in the deepest part of the cavity, leaving the facing walls available for dentin bonding.

Directions for Direct Pulp Capping:

  1. Apply a very thin film of Multi-Cal on all exposed dentin and dry with a slow flow of air.
  2. Place a bead of Multi-Cal 3mm thick directly over the exposed pulp and dry with a slow flow of air until a crust appears. Multi-Cal does not set hard.
  3. Gently tamp the paste with a pellet of cotton to make sure it is in contact with the pulp.
  4. Place a thin mix of  hard setting cement over Multi-Cal.
  5. After cement hardens, place final restoration.

Note: For pulpotomy and pulpal curettage procedures, pack pulp gently with sterile cotton until blood clots, then proceed as above. A local anesthetic may be used.

Note: To extend shelf life, place a few drops of water in the cap and recap the syringe immediately after use. If using disposable applicator tips to dispense Multi-Cal, use a new tip for each patient.

Directions for Root Canal Therapy:

  1. Prepare and cleanse canal in conventional manner.
  2. Fill canal with Multi-Cal.
  3. Seal access opening with your preferred cement.
  4. Multi-Cal is easily removed with file and irrigation.
  5. In cases requiring extended root canal therapy, change dressing every month.
