Orikam NeoPex is a premixed, radiopaque temporary root canal filling material and intracanal medicament. It combines calcium hydroxide with iodoform to provide enhanced antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and radiopaque properties during endodontic treatments.

Key Features & Composition

Calcium Hydroxide Component: Maintains a high alkaline pH to help eliminate lingering bacteria, neutralize acids, and encourage hard-tissue formation or apexification.

Iodoform Addition: Enhances the overall antimicrobial action of the paste and adds radiopacity, while providing a mild drying and anti-inflammatory effect in the root canal.

Premixed Syringe Format: Supplied as a ready-to-use paste (typically in a $2\text{g}$ syringe format) that eliminates the need for manual mixing, allowing for smooth and direct delivery into the canal.

Water-Soluble: Designed for easy and complete flushing out of the root canal system using standard irrigation before final obturation.

Clinical Indications

Inter-Appointment Intracanal Medicament: Used as a temporary dressing between appointments to disinfect complex root canal systems.

Infected Root Canals & Weeping Canals: Helpful in cases with persistent exudation or periapical inflammation due to its antimicrobial and drying properties.

Apexification & Resorption Cases: Often selected for immature teeth requiring apexification, or cases involving root resorption.

Pulpotomy & Pulp Capping: Can be utilized in vital pulp therapies.
