odontopaste-8g

Odontopaste is a zinc oxide-based root canal paste with 5% clindamycin hydrochloride and 1% triamcinolone acetonide. It was designed and developed in Australia.

It offers the benefits of a zinc oxide paste with a bacteriostatic antibiotic preservative. Together they act to temporarily obturate a root canal and prevent bacterial repopulation both within the root canal and the paste itself. In addition, a steroid is present to temporarily reduce inflammation.

The steroid, triamcinolone acetonide, is useful for the transient reduction of postoperative pain.
