## Indications for use
For use to stimulate the healing process due to the mixture of calcium hydroxide and iodoform and the induction effect of these two ingredients. Used to promote healing effects and to help prevent bacterial contamination of the canal, as the two ingredients improve the induction effect for hard tissue induction and deposition. To be used as a medicament for the treatment of infected root canals, and as a permanent, low volume additive to the filling process of a treated root canal to assist in the induction and deposition of hard tissue to make the healing process more rapid and complete. For use in the treatment of infected root canals, or following pulpectomy, or for apexegenesis or apexification, and / or for the tip filling of prepared, treated root canals at the time of final filling with gutta-percha.
