Ledermix Paste is indicated for use as an intracanal medicament in teeth undergoing root canal treatment, in the following situations:
Acute irreversible pulpitis;
Acute apical periodontitis, due to an infected root canal system. Other medicaments then need to be used as subsequent dressings (e.g. calcium hydroxide) to ensure maximum disinfection since the demeclocycline has a limited antibacterial spectrum of activity;
Inflammatory root resorption, both internal and external, as the initial dressing when the resorption is established. Other medicaments then need to be used as subsequent dressings (e.g. calcium hydroxide) to promote hard tissue repair;
To prevent the development of inflammatory resorption, following avulsion of fully developed teeth and other injuries (e.g. intrusion of fully developed teeth) where this type of resorption is likely to occur. Its use in these situations may also reduce the amount of replacement resorption that can occur following these injuries;
To reduce post-operative pain by reducing the periapical inflammation. If the pain is associated with an infected root canal system, then other medicaments then need to be used as subsequent dressings (e.g. calcium hydroxide) to ensure maximum disinfection since the demeclocycline has a limited antibacterial spectrum of activity;
To inhibit & reduce the number of bacteria within infected root canals. Other medicaments then need to be used as subsequent dressings (e.g. calcium hydroxide) to ensure maximum disinfection since the demeclocycline has a limited antibacterial spectrum of activity
