Metapaste - material for temporary filling of channels

Dental material Meta-paste is intended for temporary sealing, ready for use without preliminary preparation.

With its help, restore the original dentinal structure of the tooth at the middle and deep stages of caries, as well as in some other cases.

The paste has a high pH value of 12.5.Even after 10 days of finding the substance in the inflamed focus, this value does not fall below 12.

This material is characterized by a powerful bactericidal effect. Metapaste easily contacts the pathogenic microflora, exerting a fatal effect on it just five minutes after the administration. After 48 hours, the inflamed area acquires absolute sterility.

Composition and packaging

The composition of the filling substance Metapaste includes calcium hydroxide and sulfatebarium with high radiopaque. The preparation is completed as follows:

• syringes with a paste, the amount of which in each is 2.2 g;
• special tips for single use;
• rotating ring, with which the direction of the tip is controlled.

Plastic syringes with cannulas are designed for single use, one-by-one repeats the shape of the channels. They are easily introduced into the tissues around the apex. If necessary, the paste is easily removed. One package of the drug is enough to treat 75 channels that are prone to infection.

Therapeutic effect

Metapaste acts as a healing pad in the treatment of deep caries.

With the help of this component, it is possible to completely disinfect all the root canals, and with periodontitis it is possible to form a protective barrier of hard tissue in the region of resorption. Thus, root canals are safely and effectively isolated from infected tissues after closure of the lumen.

This method of treatment always leads to positive histological results. Due to the high pH values, the antibacterial effect is stable.

The filling component reliably protects against penetration of bacteria, isolates sensitive dental tissue, prevents from destruction.

Indications and contraindications for use

In dentistry Metapaste is used in a large number of cases, the main of which are as follows:

• with an average form of caries restores the original dentine structure;
• with a deep form of caries and pulpotomy, pulp coating is carried out;
• with periodontitis destructive form with subsequent auxification;
• for fractures, perforation of dental roots;
• for restoration of the deformed dentogingival lining;
• formation of the secondary dentin form as a barrier from a hard tissue;
• temporary filling of infected channels.

In most cases, the use of the drug is tolerated well and there are no complaints from patients. But in some cases, when there is an increased sensitivity to barium sulfate, the component is not recommended.

Instructions for use

The meta-paste is used as follows:

• is initially performed by dissection;
• after preparation, the channel must be thoroughly cleaned;
• then follows the drying step;
• disposable tip and rotating ring are mounted on a syringe;The
• tip is inserted neatly into the root canal;
• cavity is completely filled with filling material;
• gently pressing on the syringe, the tip should be slowly removed;
• removes excess paste with a cotton swab;
• used tip to remove and dispose of, in its place to dress new and close the syringe cap.

Special instructions

When using sealing material, it is necessary to be careful, considerate and observe all safety precautions:

• insert the paste slowly and neatly, without entering apex;
• should be used exclusively in dental practice;
• should not be used to treat patients with individual intolerance to individual components;
• store the paste in a dark place, avoiding exposure to sunlight;
• if there is no need in the syringe, then at this time it must be tightly closed by the cap, in order to avoid drying out the paste and keeping its sterility;
• the substance must be stored at a temperature of 10 to 25 ° C.

Special patients

You can use the substance for sealing during pregnancy, during lactation and in childhood. There are no contraindications for this.

The paste is well tolerated, does not cause allergic reactions. The only contraindication for its use may be the sensitivity and intolerance of barium sulfate, which is part of the drug.

Maximum safety of

No potential adverse reactions to the use of the substance have been established. Complaints from patients are absent.

If the paste is replaced in a timely manner, complications are not noted. Metapaste does not provoke the appearance of irritation or inflammation in the tissues surrounding the apex.

There were also no complaints 12 months after the treatment. The mucous membrane had a characteristic color for it, was dense and did not give off a painful reaction when pressed. Radiographs showed that the focus of inflammation decreases noticeably and osteogenesis is stimulated.

Cost and analogues

In dentistry there are a number of tools working on the same principle as Metapaste:

• Biocalex( Spad);
• Kaltsetin( Technodent).

To strengthen the bactericidal effect, some manufacturers add antiseptic iodoform to the pastes. Among such tools it is possible to note the following:

• Metapex;
• Vitapex;
• Calcsept-Yodo;
• Apexent with iodoform content.

Price Metapasta, like its counterparts, varies from 1000 to 1500 rubles.
