Metapex is a combination of:

 # Metapex is a combination of: 

A. Calcium hydroxide + ZOE

B. ZOE + Iodoform

C. Calcium hydroxide + Iodoform

D. Calcium hydroxide + GIC

The correct answer is C. Calcium hydroxide + Iodoform.

Metapex = Calcium hydroxide + iodoform 

Vitapex = Calcium hydroxide + iodoform + Silicon based oil (better flow able property) 

• Ideal material for obturating primary teeth = same resorption rate as of primary tooth roots 

• Both Vitapex & metapex has same resorption rate to primary tooth root but due to better flow able property of vitapex its nearly IDEAL and best material for obturation in primary teeth.
