Odontocem is eugenol-and turpene-free with no zinc oxide chemistry which is toxic to exposed pulps. Odontocem, when set, provides a biocompatible layer advantageous for successful direct pulp capping.
Odontocem powder and liquid are mixed to form a calcium silicate-, calcium sulphate-, calcium hydroxide- and calcium phosphate-based cement liner for use as a calmative liner in deep cavities, pulp capping of vital exposures and for deciduous pulptomies.
