Calcium Hydroxide Powder

Calcium Hydroxide Powder is a key dental material, particularly in endodontics and restorative dentistry. When mixed with a sterile liquid, it forms a highly alkaline paste that exhibits significant antibacterial properties and the ability to stimulate hard tissue formation. Clinically, it is used for pulp capping to encourage reparative dentin, as a cavity liner to protect the pulp, and as an intracanal medicament to disinfect the root canal system between appointments. Additionally, it plays a vital role in apexification and apexogenesis procedures for immature teeth and can aid in managing root resorption. Its high pH creates an unfavorable environment for bacteria and helps neutralize inflammatory byproducts, making it a valuable tool for promoting healing and successful treatment outcomes.
