Both zinc oxide and eugenol have well known and therapeutic effects on the pulp. Eugenol can be both anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial, depending on the concentration reaching the dentine and pulp.

Triamcinolone, released from LEDERMIX™ Cement can diffuse through the dentine to reach the pulp. In one study, 97.6% of teeth, treated with LEDERMIX™ Cement, had the reversible pulpitis resolved. 1 In addition, calcium hydroxide has beneficial effects on the healing of dental pulps and the formation of reparative dentine.

LEDERMIX™ Cement, being a hard setting material, is useful as a sedative dressing or lining under temporary or final restorations in teeth with reversible pulpitis - with or without pulp exposures. Interim crowns can be cemented using LEDERMIX™ Cement to reduce inflammation due to preparation. Additionally, LEDERMIX™ Cement can be used in the management of cracked teeth with reversible pulpitis.

For primary teeth, LEDERMIX™ Cement can be used as a root filling material following canal cleaning and preparation.
