Ledermix dental cement is indicated for pulpitis, periapical periodontitis and hypersensitive dentine, and combines the antibiotic action of demeclocycline and the anti-inflammatory action of triamcinolone.

It can provide an effective temporary sublining for deep cavities where no exposure has occurred in cases of hypersensitive dentine, and can also act as a pulp-capping agent in small pulp exposure cases.

The dental paste contains a third more steroid than the cement, and is the preferred option for cases of pulp exposure. In cases of irreversible pulpitis, the paste helps to relieve pain prior to definitive root canal treatment.
