- Chlorhexidine diacetate (5%)
- Guttapercha
- ZnO
- BaSO4
- Colouring agents
- For temporary filling of root canals
- For emergency root canal treatment
Activ point is ready to use. It is firm for easy introduction into the root canal yet flexible to follow the curves of the canal.
When chlorhexidine comes into contact with moisture it releases cations which combine with the anionic molecules on the surface of the cell walls of the bacteria causing osmosis to malfunction.Chlorhexidine is more soluble than calcium hydroxide for example.
Due to electrostatic bonding and interactions the cations adhere to the dentine, to the enamel and within the oral cavity. Activ point has been specially developed for the conditions in the root canal.
The canal is so small that there is not even room for a drop of water.
The majority of the space is taken up by the activ point, so the relationship of CHX to moisture allows a minimal inhibition concentration

Key Specifications
FAQ'S
Should paste be used with activ point?
- Paste is not necessary for dissociation.
Is one activ point sufficient?
- In ISO shaped canals yes. In extremely conical or oval canals further points can be used.
Should activ point be condensed in the canal?
- No
How long should activ point remain in the canal?
- Normally 1 – 3 weeks, but in specific clinical cases it should be replaced every 2 – 3 days.
Do activ point need to be sterilised?
- No
For which indications is activ point recommended?
- As a temporary filling for root canals, also in cases where treatment with calcium hydroxide is ineffective
How is CHX released from the point?
- Moisture which has been applied with the point or moisture which flows from the dentine tubules causes dissociation.
Which solutions should be used to rinse the canal?
- All standard solutions e.g. NaOCl or H2O2 can be used.
Is activ point radiopaque?
- Yes.
Packaging
- Pack of 60 points (15-40)
