Orca Pex calcium hydroxide with Iodoform Paste

Complete pediatric pulpectomies with confidence using ORCA Pex Paste, a calcium hydroxide and iodoform root canal filling paste made for primary (deciduous) tooth obturation in Egypt. Because it resorbs at a rate similar to the primary root itself, it is the standard choice for filling primary canals after pulpectomy — unlike permanent root canal sealers, which are not resorbable.

Clinical Uses

• Root canal filling after pulpectomy of primary molars and incisors
• Cases of infected or necrotic primary tooth pulp
• Situations requiring a resorbable obturation material that will not interfere with permanent tooth eruption

Key Features

• Calcium hydroxide and iodoform paste formulated for primary teeth
• Resorbs in step with normal primary root resorption
• Radiopaque iodoform content for clear radiographic monitoring
• Antimicrobial and biocompatible for pediatric use

FAQ

Is ORCA Pex Paste used on adult teeth?
No, it is formulated for primary (baby) tooth pulpectomy because it resorbs alongside the primary root — permanent teeth require a non-resorbable sealer instead.

Why does resorbability matter for primary teeth?
Primary roots naturally resorb before the tooth exfoliates, so the filling material needs to resorb at a similar pace rather than remain in the jaw.

How is it placed in the canal?
It is delivered with a syringe or lentulo spiral to the working length and confirmed radiographically.
