• Proven compatibility with AH Plus® root canal sealer

AH Temp combines effective disinfection of root canals with easy application via convenient AH Temp cannulas.

Key points

• Effective disinfection: calcium hydroxide–based paste with antimicrobial effect at pH 12
• Superior cannula design for direct placement into the apical third
• After cap removal, consistency is retained for 6 hours — less time pressure, longer storage, lower blockage risk in the cannula
• Does not set; designed as a temporary dressing, not a full sealer — remove before final obturation with gutta-percha or AH Plus
• Residues cleaned from canal walls with preparation instruments and sterile water rinse; dry with paper points
• Usually no extra antibiotic therapy needed; does not affect AH Temp function
• Dressing change frequency depends on the case; if used long-term, replace about every three months
• Calcium hydroxide is a strong disinfectant, biocompatible, and supports periapical healing
• In vitro tests show AH Plus self-adhesive properties are not impaired by AH Temp
• pH does not drop over time — large hydroxyl-ion reservoir keeps working against bacteria
• Radiopacity matters to verify placement, including areas NiTi files may not reach and lateral canals
