Opacal is a radiopaque, creamy and ready-to-use calcium hydroxide paste for temporary root canal dressing. When temporisation of the root canal between two appointments is required, calcium hydroxide paste is the standard material to use. The product is intended to eliminate remaining microorganisms and prevent reinfection between. The main properties of the calcium hydroxide paste are thanks to its alkaline pH. The usual duration of temporisation treatment is between 1 and 3 weeks. The product features a high pH (above 12). With a radiopacity > 300% of the dentine radiopacity, Opacal is one of the most radiopaque calcium hydroxide paste, ensuring easy identification and efficient follow-up. Opacal is an aqueous non-setting material. This characterisitic induces rapid ionic release and performant action in short treatment time procedure (R.G. Fava & W.P.
