Formacresol

Formacresol is a traditional dental pulp medicament widely used in endodontics and paediatric dentistry, particularly for pulpotomy procedures in primary (deciduous) teeth. It acts as a potent antibacterial, fixative, and devitalizing agent, helping control infection and preserve the remaining radicular pulp tissue.

Applied in minimal, controlled quantities, Formacresol disinfects the pulp chamber and reduces microbial load, making it useful in emergency endodontic care and interim pulp management. It remains a commonly referenced material in teaching institutions and selected clinical protocols.

Note: Use strictly according to clinical guidelines and local regulations, with careful isolation and minimal exposure.
