Update: As of 2/1/2026, the MTA vpt Bottle System is now also available is Canada.

VOCO is proud to present MTA vpt, our new biocompatible, radiopaque, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)-based pulp therapy cement, optimized for vital pulp therapy (VPT). Designed for daily use, its multistage cement reaction allows immediate coverage after placement with a flowable composite or glass ionomer, eliminating long wait times. With up to twice the compressive strength of previous MTA generations and very low water solubility, MTA vpt ensures a strong foundation above a vital pulp.

Priced for everyday use in near-pulp restorations, this calcium ion–releasing cement promotes the long-term preservation of pulp vitality. It provides a highly stable, bacteria-resistant seal with exceptional biocompatibility.

MTA vpt is a third-generation MTA cement that begins as a light-blue color for easy visibility during placement. It turns white during curing—and more importantly—stays permanently white, improving esthetics. It contains no bismuth oxide or ferrous compounds, eliminating the risk of discoloration. MTA vpt is monomer-free, addressing concerns about monomer cytotoxicity near the pulp.

Formulated predominantly with tricalcium silicate, MTA vpt releases calcium and hydroxide ions to stimulate reparative dentin formation and support natural pulp healing. Its high pH (12) creates a bacteriostatic environment and encourages remineralization.

With a radiopacity of 290 %Al, MTA vpt is easily identifiable on x-rays. It is also ideally suited for pediatric dentistry: hydrophilic and requiring no additional conditioning, it simplifies clinical application after pulpotomy in deciduous teeth.MTA vpt is available in an economical hand-mixed powder/liquid set or in a convenient direct-application capsule (coming soon) compatible with most titrators.

Update: As of 2/1/2026, GrandioSO 4U is now also available is Canada.

After 10 years of research and development, VOCO has set the bar even higher by introducing GrandioSO^® 4U, a 91%-filled universal nanohybrid composite. It has tooth-like physical properties, including modulus of elasticity, flexural strength, thermal expansion behavior and more. With an extremely low shrinkage of just 1.44%, and exceptional wear resistance, it delivers unmatched longevity.

Utilizing Visual-Transformation-Technology (VTT), GrandioSO 4U delivers a perfect balance of natural opacity for optimal esthetics and a fast working time with a depth-of-cure of 4mm in 10 seconds. Its Cluster-Shade system covers all 16 classic VITA^® shades using just 5 cluster shades, significantly streamlining inventory and shade selection. 30–50% less resin compared to classic composites gives GrandioSO 4U a superior, non-stick consistency and makes the material extremely color stable. 900% Al radiopacity sets a new standard for x-ray identification.

Unlike traditional layering composites or less esthetic bulk fills, GrandioSO 4U delivers both simplified workflows and superior outcomes in a single material.

Introducing VOCO Retraction Paste, an astringent paste with aluminum chloride that effectively widens and dries the gingival sulcus, creating the ideal conditions for accurate and successful conventional or digital impressions.

VOCO Retraction Paste features a custom-engineered capsule with a long, fine, flexible plastic tip rather than metal, that avoids damage to the gingiva and allows for precise application. Its 2-stage viscosity makes for simple application. First, the paste easily flows under low pressure out of the capsule into the sulcus with minimal extrusion force, then once in place its viscosity increases to remain stable as it temporarily widens the sulcus. At 0.3 g per cap, VOCO Retraction Paste capsules contains enough material for up to three teeth.

Primarily used for the retraction of the marginal gingiva and moisture management of the gingival sulcus prior to analog or digital impressions, VOCO Retraction Paste can also be used to assist in the cementation of temporary and permanent restorations, and as preparation for Class II and V restorations.

The material itself comes in a bright turquoise blue color, providing high contrast to tooth structure and gingiva, ensuring that the paste is visible and can be easily rinsed off after only 1 – 2 minutes.

VOCO Retraction Paste can save up to 50% of the practitioner’s procedural time compared to other methods and brands, and it can be used as a replacement for, or in combination with a retraction cord.
