MMPP Paper Points (0.02 Taper) - Diadent
MMPP absorbent paper points from Diadent are an essential auxiliary tool in endodontics, designed for drying the root canal and for the controlled application or removal of medicaments.
Technology and Features
-
Material (Absorbent Cellulose): The points are made of high-quality, compressed paper cellulose, which has exceptional hygroscopicity (the ability to quickly absorb and retain moisture).
-
Sterility: They are supplied in sterile packaging to ensure maximum cleanliness when working within the root canal system.
-
Standardization and Taper (0.02):
-
The points are ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standardized by apical diameter (e.g., #20, #25).
-
They have the classic 0.02 taper, which corresponds to the shape of canals prepared with hand K-files. This ensures accurate placement of the point into the apical part of the canal, guaranteeing drying to the full working length.
-
-
Holder End: The points often have an additional stiffening or a colored mark on the end, making them easier to grasp and manipulate with endodontic tweezers.
Purpose and Advantages
-
Critical Drying: The main function is the complete removal of moisture (irrigation solutions, such as sodium hypochlorite or EDTA) from the root canal before its permanent obturation. The presence of moisture can negatively affect the adhesion and quality of the endodontic sealer (cement).
-
Controlled Medicament Application: They can be used to apply liquid medicaments, such as chlorhexidine, or to controlledly coat the walls with pastes (e.g., calcium hydroxide) in a temporarily sealed canal.
-
Exudate Determination: They are used for diagnosis—if a point inserted to the working length comes out wet or contains blood, it may indicate the presence of uncontrolled exudate or an unsealed perforation.
-
Time Efficiency: Thanks to their high absorbency, the points allow the canal to be quickly and effectively prepared for filling.
Diadent MMPP paper points with a 0.02 taper are a mandatory component of the endodontic protocol, providing the dry and clean environment necessary for successful and long-lasting root canal obturation.
