TOXAVIT: Arsenic-free paraformaldehyde paste for devitalizing the dental pulp

 In particular cases of emergency & strong pain treatment where endodontic surgical measures (e.g. vital extirpation) are not possible anymore
 Contains an anaesthetic which starts to eliminate the pain before the devitalization begins
 Easy to remove/to extirpate in toto after treatment because of its compact non-crumbly consistency and good colour contrast

TOXAVIT. Dental Paste. Active substances: paraformaldehyde, lidocaine hydrochloride 1 H2O and metacresol (Ph.Eur.). 1 g paste contains active ingredients: 460 mg paraformaldehyde, 370 mg lidocaine hydrochloride 1 H2O and 45 mg metacresol (Ph.Eur.). List of excipients: Eugenol, glycerol and carbon fibres. Therapeutic indications: TOXAVIT is used to devitalize dental pulp in particular cases where endodontic surgical measures (e.g. vital extirpation) are not possible. Prior to use, it should be checked whether successful treatment might be able to be achieved using other, aldehyde-free procedures (e.g. anesthesia or bleeding control). Contraindications: Allergy to any of the active ingredients or any of the other ingredients. Undesirable effects: Uncommon: Upon extirpation of the pulp, occasional bleeding occurs at the apical site of detachment despite devitalization. Very rare: When used on milk teeth, damage to the dental germ of the subsequent adult tooth may occur during the early stages of development (before mineralisation is complete) in extremely rare cases. Frequency not known: Following application to the exposed pulp cavity, more or less severe pulpitis-like complaints occur. These are relieved through the addition of the local anaesthetic lidocaine hydrochloride to the paste. In the event of insufficient diffusion or inadequate release of formaldehyde, vital tissue fragments can remain in the canal and cause considerable pain.
