DIP Apex Paste Calcium Hydroxide is a water-based solution used in endodontics for root canal treatment. It contains calcium hydroxide and barium sulfate, making it water-soluble and easy to remove. Its radiopacity aids in X-ray visualization during treatment, suitable for patients sensitive to iodoform. It is utilized in various procedures like apexification, chronic periodontitis, and pulp regeneration on permanent or underdeveloped teeth.
DIP Apex Paste's antibacterial effect, attributed to its high calcium hydroxide content, creates an alkaline environment promoting pulp regeneration and secondary dentin growth while dissolving organic tissue. Despite debates on its antimicrobial effectiveness, calcium hydroxide remains widely used in endodontic treatments due to its favorable biological and therapeutic properties, applied in intracanal medicaments, root canal sealers, perforation management, and root resorption.
