OrthoDent Titanium Molybdenum Archwires Euro / Oval Form (10/Pk)

Formocresol has been used in dentistry for over 100 years, and for vital pulpotomy in primary teeth for over 80 years.
Its efficacy has been extensively studied, with clinical success rates ranging from 70% to 100%,
making it the standard against which newer techniques are compared.
The formaldehyde component of formocresol is strongly bactericidal and reversibly inhibits many enzymes in the inflammatory process.
the formocresol pulpotomy technique has been recommended for many years as the principal method for treating primary teeth with carious exposures,
a substantial shift away from the use of this medicament has occurred because of concerns about its toxic effects.

Direction to use:-

Formocresol is applied to the pulpotomy site on a cotton wool pledget. Any excess material should be blotted off the pledget prior to application.
Traditionally, a 5-min application time has been recommended; however, contact times of only a few seconds are probably equally effective.
It is prudent to limit both dose and contact time. Formocresol should only be applied to the pulpotomy site after haemostasis has been obtained.
It should never be applied to bleeding tissue.
