After the application of the paste is finished, carefully close the jar with the drug cover. This will protect the contents from getting into the moisture. Accordingly, the paste does not harden and will last a long time.

"Dentin-paste" is produced in containers of 50 grams. To process one tooth, no more than 0.5 grams of the product is required. Thus, one jar is enough to form approximately 100 temporary fillings.
