Description of the Preparation Eugenolum (Eugenol) Latus (Латус) - 10 g Bottle

Eugenolum (Eugenol) from the Ukrainian manufacturer Latus is a dental liquid that is a highly purified preparation based on clove oil. It is produced in liquid form, dispensed in a small bottle of 10 g. It is intended exclusively for professional use in restorative dentistry.

Main Properties and Action

Eugenol is known for its pronounced pharmacological effects, which are highly valued in endodontics and restorative dentistry:

• Antiseptic (Bactericidal) Action: Possesses strong antimicrobial activity, helping to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms, particularly when treating root canals.

• Analgesic (Pain-Relieving) Action: Acts as a local analgesic, effectively soothing painful sensations arising in the pulp.

• Sedative Action: Provides a calming effect on the irritated dental pulp.

Indications for Use in Dentistry

Eugenol (Latus) has several key applications:

• Antiseptic Treatment of Root Canals: Used for the disinfection of root canals during their preparation for obturation.

• Liquid for Paste Preparation: Used as the liquid-setting agent for preparing therapeutic and filling pastes based on zinc oxide (Zinc Oxide), for example, for temporary or permanent root canal obturation. The resulting Zinc Oxide-Eugenol cement has good biocompatibility.

• Local Analgesic: As a palliative measure for acute pain sensations originating in the pulp (applied on a cotton pellet in the carious cavity).

Method of Application (General Principles)

• For Canal Disinfection: A cotton pledget or paper point is soaked in eugenol and used to treat the inner surface of the canal before filling.

• For Pain Relief: A cotton swab moistened with eugenol is placed in the carious cavity and covered with a temporary filling.

• For Paste Preparation: Mixed with zinc oxide powder until the required consistency is achieved.

This is an important and universal preparation in a dentist's arsenal, combining antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic action.
