INDICATIONS:
"Highly recommended as effective and easy to use for control of bleeding, tissue management, and pulpotomies.
Astringedent is well-suited for a variety of dental and oral surgery procedures to arrest surface capillary bleeding. Such procedures include fixed prosthodontics, restorative-operative, periodontal treatment, etc
Astringedent is also recommended for retrofillings, canine impactions, gingivectomies, and as a ‘“fixative” for pulpotomies.
