Arde Cave — Ready-to-Use Temporary Filling Paste

Arde Cave (Ardenia, Germany) is a professional ready-to-use paste designed for fast and reliable temporary restoration. Based on zinc-sulfate cement, this material is an ideal solution for cavity sealing in endodontic practice.

Key Technologies and Benefits

• Maximum Readiness for Use. The material is supplied as a pre-mixed paste that requires no mixing. This allows the dentist to save time and avoid dosing errors — simply take the required amount and apply it directly into the cavity.

• Rapid Moisture-Curing. Arde Cave begins to set upon contact with saliva. Thanks to its quick-setting properties, the patient can resume eating within 30 minutes while the material continues to gain full strength.

• Reliable Hermetic Sealing. During the curing process, the paste exhibits controlled micro-expansion. This creates a tight seal at the "tooth-material" interface, reliably protecting the pulp or root canals from bacteria and fluids.

• Atraumatic Removal. Despite its high sealing capability, the paste is easily removed with a probe or excavator. This allows for clean cavity preparation before the final restoration without the need for burs.

Color Options

For clinical convenience, the material is available in two shades:

1. White: Features a neutral appearance and balanced hardness. It is the standard choice for routine visits and sealing endodontic access sites.

2. Pink: Features a bright, contrasting color. It is ideal for visual control, serving as a marker for long-term isolation, allowing the dentist to easily distinguish the material from the tooth structure.

Indications for Use

• Temporary filling of Class I and II cavities.

• Hermetic sealing of access sites after endodontic treatment.

• Temporary fixation of orthopedic constructions.
