Consepsis™ 2% Chlorhexidine Antibacterial Solution is recommended for procedural endodontic disinfection, as a final endodontic rinse prior to canal obturation, and prior to pulp capping. Consepsis solution should be used after smear layer removal for canal disinfection.
- Provides the longest and most effective antimicrobial activity Reduces risk of recurrent caries
- Reduces potential for postoperative sensitivity
- Increases bond strengths with dentin bonding agents May ensure long-term bond strengths by inhibiting MMP action in the hybrid layers
- Free of emollients that interfere with bond strength
For endodontic use, Consepsis should be used after smear layer removal for canal disinfection. Sodium hypochlorite and EDTA solutions should be rinsed and removed prior to using the Consepsis solution.
Note: DO NOT mix the Consepsis solution (or any chlorhexidine solution) and ChlorCid™ solution (sodium hypochlorite) in the canal as a harmful brown precipitate will form.
For bonding uses, use Consepsis to thoroughly clean and disinfect the preparation prior to sealing and restoring.
Use the Consepsis solution prior to DBA application to disinfect root surface with sensitive root treatment or when bonding.
