Reliable pulp protection
MTA vpt - VOCO’s solution
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) stands for biocompatibility and long-term clinical success in preserving the vitality of the pulp. With MTA vpt, VOCO offers a reliable material that is specially designed for the needs of daily restorative therapy and makes first-class pulp protection affordable.
According to its
indications, MTA vpt can be used in cases of deep carious lesions or traumatic
pulp exposure. It also supports the objectives of selective or stepwise caries
excavation and the Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT) based on it. It can be applied as a
lining material, for indirect and direct pulp capping as well as for the
treatment of the pulp following vital amputation (partial or complete
pulpotomy). Residual carious dentine that remains after selective or stepwise
caries removal can be reliably sealed. Free of discolouring substances, MTA vpt
is also recommended for use on anterior teeth.
Excellent material properties
Low solubility and high compressive strength are important indicators of the long-term durability and solidity of MTA cements. MTA vpt exhibits particularly good values in this respect, which ensures the stability and longevity of the entire restoration. MTA vpt sets via a multi-stage cement reaction to form a reliably stable sealing. Optimal X-ray visibility is ensured with an opacity of 290 % Al. Besides that MTA vpt is monomer-free and also free of bismuth oxide and iron-containing compounds – this prevents product-related discolouration.
Also, MTA vpt can be processed immediately by covering with a flowable composite or GI cement without exerting pressure. MTA vpt is hydrophilic and is applied directly to the cavity floor without conditioning agent, or used to cover the pulp tissue.
Presentation
MTA vpt comes in an attractively priced hand-mixed version (10 g powder + 10 ml liquid) and as a capsule for practical direct application. The dimensions of the capsule match those of the classic glass ionomer cements and can be mixed with the VOCO GIC Mixer, for example.
