A few months ago, we did a video with James Lobsenz from Kerr about their new gingival hemostatic agent Hemostasyl. I have been using Viscostat almost exclusively over the years since it was so easy to use. My only issue with it was that it often needed to be scrubbed, and applied several times. But today I tried out the new product.
The case: Tooth #28. Deep distal decay, and a fractured lingual cusp. There had been some tissue overgrowth in the decayed area, and it was already swollen and bleeding. After the prep, there was definitely more bleeding going on. I squirted the bright blue Hemostasyl into the sulcus all the way around the tooth, and waited two minutes. After rinsing, it was easy to visualize the margins and we took a final impression.
I like anything that makes it easy to get the job done easily and safely. Check out the video with James below to learn more.
