- 1.611 grams of butyl polymethacrylate;
- 27.515 grams of zinc oxide;

Produced in the form of a dense paste with a self-hardening structure. Sold in a small jar with a volume of 60 grams.
Material properties
Septo-pack is a substance that has a self-hardening and plastic structure. In its composition, the material contains fibers. When using this paste as a neutral base, it can be supplemented with various medications. In these cases, it will improve their retention on the gums, teeth, and alveoli.
Scope
The material is used in such cases:
- To ensure sterility after the treatment of the tooth cavity. Pasta serves as a temporary seal.
- In the treatment of carious lesions in the area of the neck of the root of the tooth. In this case, it is used to push the gums out before installing the seal.
- During preparation before removal of dental impressions. The material is used to push the gums away from the neck of the tooth.
- It is used for temporary prosthetics. For relocation from acrylic.
- During the installation of composite prostheses for temporary attachment of components of the prosthetic structure.
- The product is actively used in the field of plant growing. The material is used as a compress with healing and protective properties for the treatment of periodontitis in local form.
- It is used in conjunction with other medicines for various operations in the form of a protective compress on the alveoli after removal of the pulp, with gingivectomy and other interventions.
Instructions for use
Use material with a clean and sterile spatula to work with the material. Before inserting into the tooth cavity, the paste should be shaped like a cone or ball.
Do not allow liquid to enter the material during use. After each application, it is necessary to close the jar tightly.
In the oral cavity, the agent can retain the ductility properties within 2-3 minutes after application to the surface of the treated area. Full freezing lasts about 30 minutes. The agent maintains sterility after processing the dental unit.
Temporary sealing
Special features of using a temporary seal:
- paste can be used during surface, medium or deep caries lesions;
- to begin with cleansing, washing and air drying of the affected cavity;
- further the cavity is sealed with the material;
- The removal of the temporary seal is performed in a general form by an excavator.
Temporary and composite prosthetics
Scheme of use in dental prosthetics:
- for the relocation of prostheses from acrylic, several holes are first drilled, which will ensure a strong fixation;
- then the Septo-pack is applied to the area of the prosthesis in which it injures the gum or otherwise does not adhere well to the surface of the mucosa of the oral cavity;
- further the design is introduced into the oral cavity, during this process the patient should be asked to clamp the jaw for 5 minutes.
The septic tank is often used for temporary attachment of components of a composite prosthetic structure. Before performing these procedures, it is mixed with Cresophene. This mixture prevents the appearance of hypersensitivity, especially during the cleaning of non-depulled teeth.
Pasta is also used to fix temporary crowns. Before using the Septopak, you need to apply a small layer of petroleum jelly, it will later be easy to remove the prosthesis.
The material is also used to push the gums away from the neck of the tooth. It exhibits increased efficiency before cleaning the cavity with carious lesions in the cervical cavity and during the removal of the impression.
The agent is placed a day before the therapeutic treatment or impression is made on the surface of the treated area, and the paste should be placed deep between the tooth and the gum.
Features of use in periodontology
During periodontitis, the material is applied in the area between the gum and the tooth, while pushing it as deeply as possible.
Peculiarities of use for periodontitis:
- paste can be mixed with a pair of Fluokal drops, this mixture is applied to the neck of the tooth with increased sensitivity, which allows to reduce unpleasant sensations for 2-3 months;
- during therapy of local periodontitis is used as a protective compress;
- Septo-pack protects medications from the effects of saliva.
The product is used as a protective compress for gingivectomy. From a small amount of paste, a cone shape is made and introduced into the interdental region. It is important to control that the dressing does not go beyond the affected area.
Features for use with
operations After tooth extraction, Septopak is used as an alveolar compress. In these cases, a ball is formed from the agent, which is placed in the well.
After this, put a cotton swab on the surface of the ball and ask the patient to hold his jaw for 5 minutes. After that, the cotton swab is removed and the ball is left for 4 days. Then you need to remove the paste and check the condition of the well, on which the formation of the epithelial layer should be observed.
Before using Septopack, apply a small layer of petroleum jelly to the surface of the walls of the formed cavity. This will simplify the subsequent removal of the temporary seal. It is worthwhile to avoid getting moisture on the surface of the paste.
