Calcium Hydroxide Paste LC (2 x 2 g) - VIDU

Calcium Hydroxide Paste LC VIDU is a light-curing resin-modified calcium hydroxide/calcium silicate pulp cap/liner designed to act as a barrier to protect the dental pulp complex.

The precise placement of Calcium Hydroxide Paste LC VIDU allows its use in all deep cavity preparations.

Characteristics of Calcium Hydroxide Paste:

• It has a remineralising and strengthening effect on human hard tissues.
• It releases ions from its composition that stimulate the formation of hydroxyapatite bridges and secondary dentine equivalent to that of natural tooth hydroxyapatite.
• The alkaline pH promotes healing.
• Time-saving direct application and light-curing.
• Effective pulp protection.
• Acid resistant.
• Content: 2 x 2 g syringes

Indications for Calcium Hydroxide Protector

• Under amalgam restorations.
• Under Class I and Class II composite restorations.
• Under other base materials.
• Under cements.

Calcium Hydroxide Paste LC VIDU - PLASTIC NEUTRAL CERTIFIED - ZERO PLASTIC FOOTPRINT

The paste used in dentistry is a non-recyclable material. To avoid their environmental impact, the use of intraoral scanners, which allow the patient's mouth to be digitised, is recommended as an alternative.

And regarding the plastic footprint generated by the packaging of the pasta packet. VIDU has reached an agreement with The Gravity Wave whereby every month the same amount of plastic that is generated is collected from the Mediterranean Sea, its coasts and ports.

How to manage the waste generated in the clinic with the use of Calcium Hydroxide Paste LC?

• How to recycle it?

Unfortunately LC Calcium Hydroxide Paste is a non-recyclable material. On the other hand, having been used in the mouth, it is considered as contaminated material with a potential biological risk. To avoid their environmental impact, the use of intraoral scanners is recommended as an alternative, allowing the patient's mouth to be digitised without generating as much non-recyclable waste.

• Can the packaging of this product be recycled?

Calcium Hydroxide Paste LC VIDU comes in laminated plastic packages, because we need to protect the product from contact with light, oxygen and moisture. The plastic bag containing the contents is made of laminated polypropylene. It is a product composed of a multi-layered structure, in which several materials are fused together, which makes recycling very complicated. VIDU is working in collaboration with Gravity Wave in the development of alternative waste management solutions and we hope to be able to offer new solutions in the near future.

Where does this Calcium Hydroxide Paste come from?

One of the brand's objectives is transparency, which is why the country of origin is always specified on the packaging of all products. It will vary from one product to another, always looking for the manufacturing conditions that ensure: Quality, sustainability and fair prices.

In the case of this product, it is manufactured in Italy.
