Unlike ferric sulfate and aluminum chloride products, our formula with .55mg of racemic epinephrine won’t stain composite or zirconia crowns and doesn’t run on placement. Better yet, our advanced formula has no risk of contamination for today’s adhesive and bioregenerative procedures.
It depends on the procedure and how much bleeding is present:
• Zirconia crown placement: 2-4 per tooth
• Pulpotomy: 1-2 per tooth
• Strip crown/composite restoration: 1-2 per tooth
Quickly dipping them in water will activate the epinephrine faster.
Usually 1-2 minutes for water moistened pellets. Direct pressure with a moist 2×2 gauze during this time will improve hemostasis.
Start with one pellet on each side interproximally. If the bleeding is diffused, an extra pellet may be added to the buccal and/or lingual.
For optimal placement, use cotton forceps to place the pellets. Then, use a composite instrument to push them subgingivally.
