Application of Parasept paste in modern dental practice

Parasept( Parasept) is a dental paste that hardens under the influence of saliva. The material is used when installing temporary fillings and as an antimicrobial treatment dressing for periodontitis and other gum diseases.

This material is used as a neutral basis for retaining antiseptics on the gum, in the tooth or in the alveolus.

Composition and form of release

The basis of the drug is a powder of zinc sulfate cement. The paste itself consists of fibers that ensure its solidification.

Metronidazole is responsible for antiseptic properties. An important point is the absence in the composition of eugenol, which can cause irritation of the damaged mucous membrane of the oral cavity.

The drug is available in a plastic jar. Weight of the paste is 60 g.

Properties of the material
