Promote Healing and Protect Teeth with RC Med plus (Calcium Hydroxide & Iodoform Paste)
A versatile intracanal medicament for effective root canal treatment. RC Med Calcium Hydroxide Iodoform Paste is a reliable and multi-functional solution for root canal therapy. This pre-mixed paste combines the benefits of calcium hydroxide and iodoform to promote healing, fight infection, and protect teeth. 

Dual Action Powerhouse-

Calcium Hydroxide: Stimulates the formation of dentin, a hard calcified tissue that helps repair damaged tooth structure.

 Additionally, its high pH- creates an environment unfavorable for bacterial growth.
 

Iodoform: Provides potent antibacterial properties, helping to eliminate bacteria within the root canal system and prevent further infection.

Promotes Healing: Calcium hydroxide stimulates dentin formation, aiding the natural repair process within the tooth.

 Combats Infection: The powerful antibacterial action of iodoform helps eliminate bacteria and prevents reinfection in the root canal. 

Radiopaque Formula: Ensures clear visibility on X-rays for accurate placement and monitoring of the paste during treatment. 

Pre-Mixed Convenience: Eliminates the need for messy mixing, saving valuable chair time and ensuring consistent application. 

• Direct pulp capping.
• Pulpotomy procedures.
• Apexification (inducing root tip development).
• Treatment of infected root canals.
• Intracanal disinfection between appointments.

BHOOJAA LIFECARE LLP, C-24, 2nd Floor, Mangolpuri Industrail Area Phase-1, Delhi-110083

24 Months

 

• Apexification in immature permanent teeth

• Treatment of chronic periapical lesions and granulomas

• Root canal treatment in cases of root perforation or resorption

• Permanent canal filling after disinfection in infected teeth

• Permanent filling material in deciduous (milk) teeth

• Known hypersensitivity to iodine or calcium hydroxide

• Do not use in patients with drug idiosyncrasy or allergy to formulation components

Preparation

• Attach a sterile applicator tip to the syringe before use.

• Perform canal debridement and irrigation using appropriate agents.

• Thoroughly dry the canal.

Temporary Root Canal Treatment (Staged Therapy)

• Insert the tip into the canal.

• Gently express the paste to fill the upper third of the canal—do not use excessive pressure.

• Place a cotton pellet and seal with a temporary filling (e.g., Easy Temp).

• Leave in place for 7 days to 3 months under regular supervision.

• During follow-up:

  • If healing is noted, remove paste.

  • Clean canal and reapply a fresh dose if needed.

  • Proceed with final restoration.

Permanent Root Canal Filling

• Insert RC-Med Plus closer to the apex using the syringe.

• After placing a cavity liner, complete the tooth crown restoration.

For Deciduous Teeth

• Remove all carious and necrotic material/ do pulpotomy.

• Fill the canal with RC-Med Plus.

• Seal with a temporary filling.

• At follow-up, remove temporary coronal seal and assess for final restoration.

           The paste can also be applied using gutta-percha or polypropylene points for precision placement.

• Antimicrobial Action:
  Iodoform releases free iodine upon contact with tissue fluids, offering a sustained antimicrobial effect inside the canal.

• pH ~12 Alkaline Environment:
  The high pH inhibits bacterial growth and promotes healing.

• Hydrophobic and Plastic Consistency:
  Ensures smooth delivery, stable placement, and hermetic sealing of the root canal.

• Tissue Compatibility:
  Paste that extrudes beyond the apex is gradually resorbed and does not cause tissue damage.

• Safe for Paediatric Use:
  In deciduous teeth, RC-Med Plus resorbs naturally along with physiological root resorption.

• Non-Interfering with Dental Bud Formation:
  Safe for developing permanent teeth.

• To avoid tooth discoloration

               do not overfill or apply RC-Med Plus into the full pulp chamber

• Store below 25°C, away from sunlight

• Keep container tightly closed

• For dental professional use only. Not for general medicinal use.

• Always use a new, sterile dispenser for each patient to prevent cross-contamination.

• Do not aspirate back into the syringe after dispensing.

• Re-cap the syringe immediately after use.

• Do not use if paste is dry, hardened, or expired.
