Clinically, Multi-Cal™ is employed as an intracanal dressing between endodontic appointments to disinfect canals and promote periapical healing. Its high pH environment is effective in neutralizing bacterial activity, making it suitable for cases involving abscesses, cysts, root resorption, and perforations. Additionally, it is used in vital pulp therapy procedures such as direct pulp capping and pulpotomy, where it stimulates the formation of a dentin bridge, aiding in the preservation of pulp vitality. The paste's non-setting nature ensures it can be easily removed with irrigation and instrumentation during subsequent visits, streamlining the treatment process.
