2GM Calcium Hydroxide Powder

2GM Calcium Hydroxide Powder is a high-purity dental-grade calcium hydroxide used as an intracanal medicament in endodontic procedures. Its strong alkaline pH creates an antimicrobial environment within the root canal, inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting periapical healing — making it an essential material in both routine and complex endodontic cases.

Key Benefits

• Strong antimicrobial action due to high alkaline pH (~12.5)
• Promotes periapical tissue healing and hard tissue formation
• Effective against anaerobic bacteria in root canal systems
• Stimulates dentinal bridge formation in pulp capping
• Easy to mix with sterile water, saline, or anaesthetic solution

Indications

• Intracanal medicament between appointments (root canal dressing)
• Apexification in immature teeth with open apices
• Direct and indirect pulp capping
• Weeping canals and periapical abscess management
• Internal root resorption treatment
