Avue Cal - Premixed Calcium Hydroxide

Avue Cal is a ready-to-use paste with a calcium hydroxide formulation. It is a radiopaque, extremely alkaline water-soluble paste that can be readily cleansed and removed from the canal. Highly indicative in weeping canals, temporary root canal filling material.

Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) has been widely used in endodontics as an intracanal medicament to eliminate the remaining microorganisms after chemomechanical preparation. 

Antimicrobial Effect of AvueCal

The release of hydroxyl ions in an aqueous environment is essential for the activation of calcium hydroxide against microbes. These ions reacted intensively with several biomolecules due to their highly oxidant free radicals.

As this reactivity is unspecified, the free radicals most likely gathered at the sites of generation. Hydroxyl ions have fatal effects on bacterial cells. They may damage the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria, denature their proteins, or damage the DNA.

Used as disinfecting dressing

It is often combined with a AvueGum Light body during the impression procedure, known as the putty-wash technique, and is commonly used for dental impressions.

Impression techniques for Putty/Lightbody

Two techniques—one-stage or two-stage procedures—can be used when taking impressions with AvueGum light body and putty. For one-stage procedures, the wash material is syringed on the prepared tooth, and then the unset putty is seated over the light body material. AvueGum Putty is very soft making it possible to capture margins in wash material as it is not pushed by its very heavy body consistency

For two-stage procedures, the initial putty impression is made and allowed to set, and then it is subsequently relined with wash materials,As per certain studies, two step impressions are better as all the details are captured in light body

AvueEtch 

Blue tinted viscous gel/ liquid of 37% phosphoric  for etching techniques.

Applications:

• Used for conditioning both dental enamel and dentin surfaces prior to the placement of an adhesive restoration
• After any cutting of the tooth surface a smear layer is formed. This layer contains the basic components of the enamel, inter- and peritubular dentin, including dentin tubules’ content, mixed with water, microorganisms, toxins, enzymes, saliva. This layer may vary in composition, thickness, density and degree of binding to the underlying tooth structure, depending on the location of the preparation . When a preparation of the dentin surface is performed, the dentin tubules are cut and therefore obscured by small plugs of this layer, which will lead to reduction of dentin permeability .
• The smear layer can‘t be removed by washing with water, but it is subject to dissolution in a total etching
• The etching of the dentin lead to significant changes in the dentin structure.The rate of adhesives infiltration in the demineralized dentin gradually reduces in the direction towards the base of the hybrid layer

Dissolution of the smear layer

The etching of the dentin surface even for a short time can lead to significant changes in the dentin structure. It must be efficient, not extensive . In extensive demineralization of the intertubular dentin the collagen fibers will collapse and the calcium phosphate crystals will precipitate and therefore a protective layer that may not be completely impregnated by the adhesive primer and monomer could be formed. 

37% promotes strong bonding

37% wt phosphoric acid etchant for enamel and dentin. Easily controlled gel flows under direction, not under gravity.

37% wt phosphoric acid

30 to 40% wt phosphoric acid optimally etches in 15 to 20 seconds. Lower concentrations require longer contact time, unnecessarily delaying procedures.

A-silicone wash impression material

An impression material which gives detailed accuracy & excellent margins.

Clinically, improved hydrophilicity of AvueGum Light body results in better wettability of the tooth surfaces, and performance in a moist environment.

The impressive flowability and self-levelling of AvueGum wash materials not only lead to highly precise capture of details, but also avoid air voids, flashes and imperfections.

High tear strength of Avuegum reduces the risk that the impression material tears off upon mouth removal. Another essential aspect for clinical success: The impression material has to withstand all the forces it is exposed to upon removal from the mouth. Avuegum impressions are rigid enough to withstand all the compression forces

Otherwise the impression will experience a permanent deformation, a so called distortion. Distortions can be the reason for poorly fitting resorations. They usually are not known until the final restoration is ready for seating.AvueGum is dimensionally stable showing a minimum amount of shrinkage.

Features:

• Optimized flow guarantees precise detail reproduction in every clinical condition.
• Stays where you want and flows on your demand.
• Thixotrophic – non slumpy. Stable as well as flowable.
• Excellent recovery after deformation from undercuts.
• Can be poured long after taking impression without loss of accuracy.
• High tear resistance.
• The light body has the lowest viscosity and is placed on hard and soft tissues to record accurate surface details of tooth preparations even in presence of moisture because of it Superior Hydrophilicity.
  

Avue A+ Calcium Hydroxide Based Root Canal Sealer Characteristics

• Induce mineralization
• Induce apical closure via cementogenesis
• Inhibit root resorption subsequent to trauma
• Inhibit osteoclast activity via an alkaline pH
• Seal and prevent leakage

COMPOSITION

1. Base

• Calcium Oxide
• Zinc oxide
• n-ethyl-o/p-toluene sulfonamide
• Plasticizers and Thickeners

2. Catalyst

• Isobutyl Salicylate
• Methyl Salicylate
• Bismuth Trioxide
• Titanium Dioxide
• Thickeners and Plasticizers

 Anti-microbial action and Tissue Repair/Regeneration

Calcium hydroxide sealers exhibit antimicrobial activity and have osteogenic-cementogenic potential. Calcium hydroxide is antimicrobial depending on the availability of free hydroxyl ions. It has a very high pH (hydroxyl group) that encourages repair and active calcification. There is an initial degenerative response in the immediate vicinity followed rapidly by a mineralization and ossification response.

Biocompatibility

Root canal sealers and filling materials may be exposed to the periradicular tissue at the apical and lateral foramina so superior tissue tolerance to sealer is required to minimize local and systemic side effects. Calcium-containing sealer exhibited less toxicity and exhibited therapeutic effects on the surrounding tissue.

Storage

Calcium hydroxide sealers should be stored in a cool, dry, well- ventilated area in tightly sealed containers that are labeled in accordance with OSHA's hazard communication standard. Following proper storage guidelines is essential as separation can be observed if the material is stored at a very high temperature.

Anti-microbial action

The anti-microbial action of Calcium Hydroxide sealers prevents persistent residual infection and micro-organisms from re-entering through the oral cavity.

Hydrophilicity

The hydrophilic nature of Calcium Hydroxide sealer reduces the xontact angles of the sealer and increases sealer penetration into the dentinal tubes.

Bio-mineralization

Calcium Hydroxide sealers induce hard tissue formation in both Periodontal Ligament (PDL) and bone.
