FAQ

Is ORCA Formocresol only for baby teeth?
Yes. Formocresol pulpotomy is a technique used specifically on primary (deciduous) molars, not permanent teeth.

How long should formocresol stay in contact with the pulp?
Contact time depends on the technique used; follow the product insert and your clinic's pulpotomy protocol.

What goes over the canal after the formocresol pellet is removed?
Most protocols follow with a zinc oxide-eugenol base, then a stainless steel crown or permanent restoration.
