Description OP8G OdOntOPasTe 8g tube

Contains clindamycin hydrochloride 5% triamcinolone acetonide 1%

Indications for Use

Contraindications/Precautions

Method of Use

OdOntOpASTE is a patented, non-staining, zinc oxide-based endodontic dressing. OdOntOpASTE prevents bacterial repopulation within the root canal following standard procedures for root canal preparation.

OdOntOpASTE is ideal for patients who present in pain and, in particular, for patients with “hot pulps.” OdOntOpASTE is also the treatment of choice for avulsed teeth due to its excellent anti-inflammatory properties. OdOntOpASTE and OdOntOCIDE can be interchanged in teeth should one dressing be unsuccessful in controlling infection or pain. this may be useful in cases of re-treatment where teeth are not responding to one or the other medicament.

OdOntOpASTE is not suitable for use on pregnant women as triamcinolone acetonide has been shown to be teratogenic on test animals. OdOntOpASTE should not be used on patients with allergy to lincomycin or clindamycin. OdOntOpASTE should be used with caution on patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease.OdOntOpASTE should be used with caution on nursing mothers as clindamycin has been shown to be present in breast milk.

OdOntOpASTE can be applied in two ways. the first is to dispense a small amount of OdOntOpASTE onto a mixing pad. the paste is then picked up with a lentulo spiral and spun down into the root canal. the second is to dispense OdOntOpASTE directly into an OdOntOTIp capsule and apply into the root canal utilising a standard compule gun. OdOntOpASTE cannot be mixed with additional calcium hydroxide as the steroid and antibiotic will be degraded. OdOntOpASTE should not be used for longer than 30 days. OdOntOpASTE should not be used on patients taking concurrent doses of erythromycin as antagonism has been demonstrated between the two drugs in vitro.

REVOLUTION IN DENTISTRY

dr. Viktoria Adamidou was awarded the Jens Andreason Award at the International Association of Paediatric dentists (IAPd) Congress in Athens in 2011. the award is presented for the best poster presentation on dental traumatology in children and is open to all members registered to the IAPd Congress.

the winning presentation, “In-vitro investigation of tooth discolouration with different intracanal materials used in dento-alveolar trauma”, was selected out of 34 entries. Viktoria graduated from her MdentSci studies in Paediatric dentistry 2010.

Conclusions: Odontopaste does not cause tooth discolouration.

tHE IntER-MIXInG OF MEdICAMEntS >>For over twenty years, there was no published research on the effect on the antibiotic and steroid when mixing calcium hydroxide with antibiotic/steroid pastes. Yet, this practice was widespread in Australia. It was incorrectly assumed that the therapeutic effects of each paste would be additive. Only recently, we published original research in the International Endodontic Journal which showed that by adding calcium hydroxide to either OdOntOpASTE or Ledermix Paste, the steroid and antibiotic components are destroyed. AdM does not recommend the mixing of Odontopaste with additional calcium hydroxide. Odontopaste already contains 0.5% calcium hydroxide which we found to be the optimal amount in terms of maintaining the stability of the pharmaceutical components.

COMMOnALItY OF InGREdIEntS >>An AdM innovation, OdOntOCIDE, OdOntOpASTE and OdOntOpREp all contain the same base-paste formulation. this means that there are no possible unknown interactions between any trace amounts of the paste left behind during the endodontic procedure. the same base-paste formulation also means that there is a finite set of ingredients which are introduced within the canal, allowing for better control of the chemical aspect of endodontic treatment.

OC8G OdOntOCIDe 8g tube

Contains calcium hydroxide 20% Ibuprofen 7%

OdOntOCIDE is a patented, non-staining, calcium hydroxide-based endodontic dressing incorporating the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, ibuprofen. the calcium hydroxide within OdOntOCIDE prevents bacterial repopulation of the root canal following standard procedures for root canal preparation whilst the ibuprofen assists in pain relief. In addition, OdOntOCIDE is very effective against bacteria in biofilm.

OdOntOCIDE is the medicament of choice for routine use in endodontics where the patient is not in excessive pain. OdOntOCIDE and OdOntOpASTE can be interchanged in teeth should one dressing be unsuccessful in controlling infection or pain. this may be useful in cases of re-treatment where teeth are not responding to one or the other medicament.

OdOntOCIDE is nOt the medicament of choice for avulsed or traumatised teeth as the calcium hydroxide exhibits non-specific cytotoxicity which may further compromise host cells in the periodontal ligament. OdOntOCIDE is not suitable for use on pregnant women due to possible teratogenic effects.OdOntOCIDE should not be used on patients with allergy to ibuprofen. OdOntOCIDE may interfere with long-term aspirin medication. OdOntOCIDE should be avoided in patients on long-term aspirin medication.

OdOntOCIDE can be applied in two ways. the first is to dispense a small amount of OdOntOCIDE onto a mixing pad. the paste is then picked up with a lentulo spiral and spun down into the root canal. the second

is to dispense OdOntOCIDE directly into an OdOntOTIp capsule and apply into the root canal utilising a standard compule gun. OdOntOCIDE should not be mixed with any steroid/antibiotic medicament such as OdOntOpASTE as this will degrade the antibiotic and steroid. OdOntOCIDE should not be used for longer than 30 days.

the testing was performed by independent laboratories with no involvement from AdM other than the provision of materials. the independent laboratory operates under GLP (good laboratory practice) and is tGA licensed and approved.

Calcium hydroxide, in its natural state, is not radio-opaque. In order to make a calcium hydroxide-based paste radio-opaque and hence easily seen on a radiograph, most manufacturers add a radio-opaquing agent. Consideration needs to be given to reasons behind the addition of radio-opaquing agents. It is uncommon to radiograph a tooth following the application of a root canal medicament whether it is calcium hydroxide- based or antibiotic/steroid-based. So the requirement for the addition of a radio-opaquing agent needs to be carefully considered.

Radio-opaquing agents do not have any antimicrobial properties and do not indicate the state of the calcium hydroxide paste over time. Their role can only be to determine the extent of the initial application.

the length of time a calcium hydroxide paste remains active within a root canal depends on its initial percentage within the paste, its rate of dissolution from the root canal and the rate at which it forms calcium carbonate through its reaction with carbon dioxide. (Calcium carbonate is an inert substance with no alkalinity or significant antibacterial properties). none of these parameters can

be measured radiographically. there is no diagnostic advantage in radiographing an endodontically-dressed tooth in order to determine the state of the endodontic dressing. the radio-opacity of the root canal due to the presence of a radio-opaquing agent has no correlation to the chemical state and activity of the paste. A radiograph will only indicate the biological state (degree of healing, etc.) of the root of the tooth and the periapical tissues.

Barium sulphate is a commonly utilised, non-staining radio-opaquing agent with low toxicity which is utilised in OdOntOCIDe. In accordance with the principles above, OdOntOCIDe is deliberately only moderately radio-opaque in order to maximise the amount of ibuprofen and calcium hydroxide which are the components which impart the greatest therapeutic benefit.

Definition

the simplest definition to which we are accustomed is

pH = -log[H+] (Sorrenson 1909). the pH range is from

0 to 14 and is based on the dissociation constant of

water at 25°C. Kw= 1x10-14=[H+][OH-].

Analytical chemists have developed more accurate

and complex formulas for pH. the evolution of pH

definitions is presented below:

pH=-log[H+]

pH= -log [aH+] where [aH+] = activity of the hydrogen ion:

[aH+] = gH+ . bH+ where gH+ = the activity coefficient

and bH+ = concentration in mol/kg within the solvent.

In dilute solutions, [aH+] = [bH+] as an approximation.

In more concentrated solutions, consideration needs

to be given to the medium (solvent) effect and the salt

effect. the medium effect is the effect the solvent

has on the H+ ion activity. For example, H+ activity is

200 times greater in ethanol than in water. In other

solvents, the H+ activity is lower than in water.

there are even more complex definitions for pH;

however, they become far too complex for those not

directly involved in the field of chemistry and

chemical analysis.

It is common now for pH, when taught to high school

and undergraduate students, to be defined as follows:

pH=-log(H3O+] where H3O+ is called the hydronium ion

(of which several types exist in water).

An advantage of the use of hydronium instead of

hydrogen is to deliberately limit the pH to an aqueous

environment as different solvents have different

effects on pH. [H3O+] is equivalent to [H+] in an

aqueous solution.

The Measurement of pHpH can be measured commonly in two ways:

1. With indicator paper: indicator paper changes colour depending on the pH. the best known example is litmus paper.

2. With a pH meter and probe: a pH meter typically uses a glass probe and measures differences in electrical potential between two electrodes in the target solution.

The pH of Calcium Hydroxide Pastes in endodontics

A pH with calcium hydroxide occurs in thefollowing steps.

a. Calcium hydroxide dissolves into solution with water being the most common solvent used in endodontic calcium hydroxide pastes.

b. Calcium hydroxide then dissociates into its constituent ions.

Ca(OH)2 → Ca2+ + 2OH-

the hydroxyl ions are thought to provide the antibacterial properties of calcium hydroxide pastes and are, therefore, critical. If calcium hydroxide were insoluble, then the pH would remain neutral, i.e. pH=7, and the calcium hydroxide would simply settle to the bottom of the vessel. However, calcium hydroxide is soluble in water, albeit at a low level of 1.73 grams per litre at 20°C. this low solubility ensures that the pH does not rise above 12.5 in an aqueous solution.

the dissociation constant of calcium hydroxide is an indicator of how much of the dissolved calcium hydroxide will split into its ions. Calcium hydroxide has a high dissociation constant (pKb2.43), and, therefore, almost all the dissolved calcium hydroxide dissociates into ions. If calcium hydroxide did not dissociate, then the pH would remain neutral irrespective of the solubility.

An example of the relationship of solubility and pH follows: in one litre of water at 20°C, only 1.73 grams of calcium hydroxide is required to saturate the solution and raise the pH to its maximum level of 12.5. therefore, a paste with 20%, 40%, 60%, 90% (or anything above 0.173%) calcium hydroxide in an aqueous solution will all have the same pH since only 1.73 grams of calcium hydroxide per litre can dissolve and then dissociate to provide the pH. the excess remains undissolved and hence cannot impart any additional hydroxyl ions into solution.

the only advantage of higher percentage calcium hydroxide pastes is that they last longer. An analogy would be to imagine two cars with the same engine, etc. One car has a full fuel tank while the other is only half-full. Both will perform all tasks identically except the one with a half-filled fuel tank will stop running sooner as it runs out of fuel. the same applies with differing percentages of calcium hydroxide pastes. the remaining amount of calcium hydroxide, once 1.73grams per litre has dissolved, is inert and plays no role in the provision of the pH. However, more importantly, in an open system such as a root canal where dissolution of the hydroxyl ions occurs, more calcium hydroxide dissolves from the undissolved reservoir to replace the ions lost through dissolution, thereby maintaining the concentration and pH. Eventually, the reserve of calcium hydroxide is depleted and the pH drops off to neutral.


9

The pH of different pastes in different solutionsthe use of pH meters makes the measuring of pH straightforward. A very common error, however, is to simply place the pH probe into different solutions (water, methanol or polyethylene glycol (PEG)) and expect to have pH readings which are comparable. You cannot compare the pH of a substance in an aqueous solution with the pH of the same substance in a non-aqueous solution through the use of a pH meter. A better analogy is as follows:

Consider two thermometers - one based on Celsius and the other on Fahrenheit. You can measure the temperature of objects with both thermometers but can only compare direct measurements if the same scale in temperature (same thermometer) were used. the only way to compare measures in Fahrenheit and Celsius is to convert one scale to the other. eg.Celsius = (Fahrenheit -32) x 5/9

When measuring pH, comparisons become even more complex because a pH measure taken in one solvent cannot be compared to a pH measure taken in another. there is no conversion of scale as there is with the temperature example.

Calcium hydroxide is a specific example of the above.Calcium hydroxide in an aqueous solution, when measured with a typical pH meter, will return a pH of 12.4-12.6. It has been claimed that the same calcium hydroxide in polyethylene glycol will return a much higher pH (in excess of 14**). It is invalid to compare and claim that one paste achieves a higher pH than the other. this is an incorrect interpretation of the readings and no such comparisons can be made.

the solubility of calcium hydroxide in polyethylene glycol is 2.3 grams/kg (testing performed by an independent, tGA licensed laboratory at the request of AdM). Assuming complete dissociation (which may not be the case), the [OH-] concentration is approx. 0.078 moles per litre. Since a comparable pH cannot be deduced as the solvent is not aqueous, we can instead compare with a 1M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution which achieves a pH of 14. the concentration of hydroxyl ions is 1 mole per litre (compared to 0.078 moles per litre for PEG 400).

From this, it is clear that the hydroxyl ion concentration is far below that found for a pH >14 in an aqueous solvent. the pH meter reading may indicate a high value but this value has no correlation to the aqueous range and therefore provides a false impression of a higher concentration of hydroxyl ions. the actual chemistry clearly shows that calcium hydroxide in a polyethylene glycol solvent does not have a hydroxyl ion concentration equivalent to that of an aqueous solution with a pH of 14.

Points to Remember

1. Calcium hydroxide has low solubility which limits the pH to 12.5. A higher solubility (and no change to the dissociation constant) such as that found in sodium/potassium hydroxide would increase the pH to 14. No trials exist of products utilised in endodontics as long-term pastes with pH values ≥14. Products with such a high pH should only be used with caution as the pH scale is logarithmic. A two pH-unit-difference implies a hundred-fold increase in activity.

2. A different solvent such as PEG 400, or a dilution of one solvent with another in large amounts, results in a different pH scale. pH measures cannot, therefore, be used for comparison or for claims of advantages of one product over another in terms of pH. Specifically, pH of calcium hydroxide in polyethylene glycol cannot be compared to the pH of calcium hydroxide in water.

3. The solubility of calcium hydroxide in polyethylene glycol makes it impossible to achieve a hydroxyl ion concentration found in an aqueous solution with a pH>14.

4. The % of calcium hydroxide, if over 0.173% (at 20°C), does not increase or affect the pH of the paste in water. It only enables the paste to last longer in the canal. For short periods, consideration needs to be given as to an acceptable percentage of calcium hydroxide. It may be that a 10% calcium hydroxide paste works just as well as a 40% paste if there is sufficient reserves of undissolved calcium hydroxide to account for the loss through dissolution over an acceptable period of time.

OdOntOCEM is the first calcium silicate-based biocompatible calcium cement to successfully incorporate a steroid. OdOntOCEM is very biocompatible and has a unique chemistry in many ways. the high pH, responsible for the antibacterial properties, is only transient so that the set product, over time, improves in biocompatibility. In addition, OdOntOCEM sets in 3-5 minutes which, for calcium silicate-based products, is relatively quickly. OdOntOCEM is recommended for use in either direct or indirect pulp capping. the steroid component in OdOntOCEM is at a low percentage of 0.2%. this provides only temporary pain relief and will keep a tooth with irreversible pulpitis acquiesced for only a short period of time thus avoiding false positives.

Use of OdOntOCEM is contraindicated on patients with a history of allergy to triamcinolone acetonide. Use of OdOntOCEM on pregnant women is also contraindicated due to the presence of triamcinolone acetonide and the associated possible teratogenic effects. Even though the risk, due to the extremely low dose, is minimal, it is recommended that OdOntOCEM be avoided.

Mixing and applying OdOntOCEM is a challenge. It presents a learning experience. It cannot be mixed and applied with a dycal applicator, as is the case with some zinc oxide/eugenol-based products, nor can it be applied in thin cross-sections. For the best results dispense one drop of Liquid to a sufficient amount of Powder (approximately 1:3) on a mixing pad. Add small portions ofpowder incrementally to the liquid until a dough-like mix is produced. Mix quickly for 5-10 seconds until the powder is completely incorporated. Apply with a flat plastic/ball burnisher or with our

Associate Professor Peter Parashos of the University of Melbourne developed and validated a method for the cleaning and re-use of rotary endodontic files in 20041. this method forms the basis of AdM’s ODONTOSTAnD and ENDOFOAM–pVp.

the Parashos Validated Protocol can be summarized as follows:

1. 10 vigorous strokes in the scourer-based foam, ENDOFOAM–pVp, soaked in 0.2% chlorhexidine solution

2. 30 minutes presoaking in an enzymatic cleaning solution

3. 15 minutes ultrasonication in an enzymatic cleaning solution

4. 20 second rinse in running tap water5. Files are now able to be autoclaved

and reused

the Parashos Validated Protocol is designed to be used in the cleaning and sterilising area. One sponge is capable of cleaning many files; however, it is recommended to replace the foams regularly, particularly under a heavy biological load.

the ODONTOSTAnD and ENDOFOAM–pVp can also be single-use within a clinical environment to provide a superior clean to all types of endodontic files when compared to other endodontic sponges on the market.1Parashos P, Linsuwanon P, and Messer HH, A cleaning protocol for rotary nickel-titanium endodontic instruments.

OdOntOBLEACH is a sodium perborate-based endodontic bleaching agent. OdOntOBLEACH is suitable for use with the “walking bleach technique.” It is recommended that OdOntOBLEACH be used with water to reduce the risk of invasive cervical resorption. Other liquid vehicles can be utilised such as hydrogen peroxide but the increased risk of invasive cervical resorption needs to be assessed and managed correctly. OdOntOBLEACH is mixed with sterile water to form a dry paste which can be picked up with amalgam guns and placed within the root canal. the use of heat to accelerate the bleaching process is not recommended. OdOntOBLEACH should be applied and reassessed in one week for either further replenishment or for removal. Final restoration of the tooth is generally recommended to be delayed two weeks post-bleaching due to the presence of an oxygen inhibited layer which will affect bonding when using adhesive systems immediately post-bleaching.

FROStBITE is an endodontic cryogenic spray. FROStBITE is used for pulpal sensibility testing through the application of a cold stimulus to a tooth. FROStBITE uses a unique and efficient cooling fluid enabling it to reach temperatures approaching that of more expensive carbon dioxide systems. AdM’s FROStBITE can deliver temperatures down to -55°c. Clinically, there is no discernible difference between FROStBITE and carbon dioxide gas based systems. Moreover, when using the carbon dioxide systems, it is not unusual to leave a patient with cold burns on their cheeks and lips. With AdM’s FROStBITE, this is not possible. For best results, FROStBITE is sprayed on a small cotton wool ball and placed on a tooth. FROStBITE provides the convenience and safety of the spray can with the certainty of carbon dioxide systems.

AdM’s FROStBITE is easily the most cost-effective pulpal vitality testing device on the market today.

DRY NOaLpowdered dental

tray cleaner

DRY NOAL is an effective powdered formulation for the cleaning of alginates from impression trays. It contains a combination of chelating agents which, when dissolved in water, remove the hard-to-get-at alginate found in used impression trays. DRY NOAL is designed to be used with the NOALVAT where trays can be soaked overnight and rinsed in the morning. A light scrub in the morning and the remaining alginate deposits will disappear. DRY NOAL is safe to use on stainless steel and plastic impression trays and contains biodegradable ingredients making it safe for the environment. As part of our drive to become more environmentally friendly, DRY NOAL comes in an Australian-made container which can be reused as a surgery organizer or as a lunch box for kids.

NOAL’s unique ingredients will safely remove alginates, cements and liners from dental trays and instruments. NOAL contains cleaning agents, hydrocarbon solvents, surfactants and anticorrosive agents which cannot be incorporated into powdered formulations. NOAL is powerful enough to remove the most stubborn deposits and, when compared to one of the leading brands of tray cleaners on the market today, NOAL removed identical alginate deposits in half the time. NOAL is concentrated which means that one litre of NOAL makes ten litres of long-lasting solution. NOAL is also safe to use in conjunction with ultrasonic cleaners for those challenging deposits. NOAL contains cleaning agents that are medically safe, making it safe to use for the dentist and the dental team. NOAL is available in one litre or five litre reusable Willow® containers. There is no doubt that NOAL is an excellent dental tray cleaner, just as there is no doubt that NOAL is made right here in Australia by the one company that thinks that’s still important.

NOAL products are a range of alginate tray cleaners and accessories. You may think that NOAL is an abbreviation for “No Alginate”–and it is–but NOAL is also a tribute to Noel Jacobsen, ADM’s chief chemist and good friend.

Noel Jacobsen was a graduate of the University of Western Australia (BSc & MSc), the Australian National University (PhD) and a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (FRACI). Noel was a senior lecturer in chemistry at the University of Queensland for 25 years with specialized research interests in heterocyclic chemistry. He published over 50 papers in international journals of the highest repute. He was visiting research professor at Indiana University (USA), Hoffman-La Roche Pharmaceutical Co (Switzerland) and Research Fellow at the John Curtin School of Medical Research (Canberra, Australia).

He also worked for Uniquest for over twenty years and undertook over a hundred investigations requiring chemical analyses, problem solving, product formulations and testing as well as arson investigations. Noel Jacobsen was a key player in the formulation of many of ADM’s products.

More importantly, despite all his achievements, Noel was always approachable, easy to work with and never once sought the recognition his efforts deserved.

Noel Jacobsen represents much of what ADM stands for: a quiet achiever with high standards and a true friend to many.
