SIPRON- Root Canal Repair Material

SIPRON-MTA, root canal repair material, is a powder consisting of fine and hydrophilic particles that set in the presence of moisture. Hydration of the powder creates a colloidal gel that solidifies to form a strong impermeable barrier that seals off pathways between the root canal system and surrounding tissues, significantly reducing bacterial migration. The excellent biocompatibility of SIPRON-MTA allows for a predictable clinical healing response. Also, water-based chemistry of SIPRON-MTA permits normal setting in the presence of moisture.

Indications:

  • A root-end filling material
  • For the repair of root canals as an apical plug during apexification
  • For repair of root perforations during root canal therapy
  • As a pulp capping material
  • Pulpotomy of primary teeth in the child (ages >2-12 years) and adolescent (ages >12-21 years) pediatric patient populations.

Features:

  • Setting time 120 min
  • High radiopacity
  • Excellent biocompatibility
  • Increased compressive strength
  • Enhancing formation of mineralized tissues
  • Inducing neoformation of periarticular cementum

Clinical study:

The radiographic images show the root canal before and after treatment with SIPRON-MTA and its follow-up for 6 months. As can be seen, SIPRON-MTA has made a very good distinction in the images due to its high radiopacity. Also, the process of root repair is a good indication of biocompatibility and desirable antibacterial activity, as well as the regenerating and remineralizing ability to SIPRON-MTA
