Dentsply Barricaid Periodontal Surgical Dressing

• Visible Light Cure Periodontal Surgical Dressing is an advanced concept in the protection of periodontal surgical sites (periodontal wound dressing).
• This single-component, light-activated periodontal dressing eliminates the time-consuming mixing of pastes.
• Furthermore, Barricaid® gives the clinician total control over the placement and setting of the periodontal packing material.
• Curing of the material can be accomplished with a visible light-curing unit to form a non-brittle, but firm, protective elastic covering.
• Incremental additions of the material, which bond adherently, can be made in the mouth without any special prior surface preparation.
• The dressing is tinted pink, is tasteless, and has a translucent character which allows for superior esthetics, as well as site monitoring.

INDICATION

• Routine periodontal pack for surgery.
• Protective pack for extraction sites.
• Sealing antimicrobial agents after placement in periodontal pockets.
• Protecting the surface over orthodontic bands.

ADVANTAGE

• Visible light-cured periodontal dressing Barricaid is easily applied, offers a perfect color match with no unpleasant taste or smell; hence, the patient is not hesitant to carry out his routine activities.
• It is biocompatible, offers good retentivity, and only a thin layer is required to be applied. So, the higher cost of dressing is a mere illusion, and it does not limit its application in clinical practice.
• Barriciad proves to be a better alternative to Coe-pak as a dressing material, as it overcomes the limitations of Coe-pak.
• Permits clinical observation without removal of the protective system
