• The main advantage is that it resorbs from the apical tissues in 1 week to 2 months.
• Vitapex is apparently harmless to permanent tooth germs.
• It can be easily inserted and removed from the root canal as it does not set.
• If the material goes beyond the then apex there will not be any problem as it is resorbable and non-toxic to periapical tissues.
• Zinc oxide and Eugenol set into hard cement that resists resorption.
• Vitapex does not set unlike zinc oxide and eugenol paste.
• Vitapex can be removed for retreatment.
• Calcium hydroxide – 30% activates blast cells aiding apexogenesis.
• Iodoform – 40.4% is bacteriostatic and increases radiopacity.
• Silicon oil – 22.4% acts as a lubricant, ensures complete coating of canal walls and makes it nonsetting.
• Overfilling does not cause any problem because Vitapex is completely resorbable.
