Forendo Paste is a non-setting, premixed calcium hydroxide paste with iodoform for root canal therapy. Forendo Paste is a temporary or permanent endodontic filling material that promotes healing and inhibits bacterial growth in the root canal.
Forendo Paste contains calcium hydroxide and iodoform in a silicone oil base. It has a pH greater than 12 and is radiopaque. The paste is bactericidal and bacteriostatic. It is recommended for routine use as a disinfecting root canal dressing between office visits to prevent flare-ups and for treatment of infected root canals, abscesses, periapical lesions, perforations, exudation, root resorption, traumatic injuries, and for apexification and apexogenesis. Forendo Paste can be used alone as a temporary canal disinfectant, in conjunction with gutta percha for permanent filling, and for vital pulpectomies in deciduous teeth
