VOCO MTA vpt POWDER 10G | LIQUID 10ML

VOCO MTA vpt Powder 10G Liquid 10ML

In daily practice, reliable pulp protection is essential to preserve the vitality of the pulp. Biocompatibility and a stable,
bacteria-proof seal are substantial properties. High compressive strength and low solubility of the material used are particularly important for the longevity of the protective seal. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) meets these requirements: MTA materials are considered the benchmark for biocompatibility. 

They set during the cementation reaction to form a reliably stable layer and release calcium and hydroxide ions that stimulate the formation of reparative dentine and the body‘s own regeneration of the pulp. The resulting high pH is known to be bacteriostatic and promotes remineralisation. In scientific research, the excellent sealing properties of the material are also attributed to the ion release and subsequent apatite formation.

Numerous studies on MTA materials, chemically referred to as calcium silicate-based cements, document their reliable high clinical success rates in Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT). MTA vpt from VOCO, which consists mainly of tricalcium silicate, offers all these advantages of the material class and thus creates a long-term, stable and tight seal – the optimal base for preserving the vitality of the pulp. 

In accordance with its indications, it can be used in deep carious lesions or in cases of traumatic pulp exposure. MTA vpt also supports the objectives of caries management and, by extension, those of the VPT.

Indications

• Base fill cement for all restorative materials
• Indirect pulp capping
• Direct pulp capping
