Angelus Mta 0.14Gm

Bioceramic reparative cement

MTA is used for root canal perforation, root-end resection, apexification, pulp capping & pulpotomy.

INDICATIONS:

• Treatment of perforations of root canal and furcation caused iatrogenically or by caries lesion.
• Via canal treatment of root perforation due to internal resorption.
• Surgical treatment of root perforation due to internal resorption.
• Periapical surgery with reverse filling.
• Pulp capping.
• Pulpotomy (removal of affected coronal pulp to preserve vitality of remaining pulp tissue).
• Apexogenesis (induction of root development in vital teeth with an inflamed coronal pulp).
• Apexification (induction of formation of a mineralized barrier at the root tip of young permanent teeth with incomplete root development and a necrotic pulp).

Features

• Ions Calcium Release: enhances formation of mineralized tissues; provides biological seal of perforations and total repair of damaged periradicular tissues.
• Hydrophilic: can be used in humid areas without losing properties.
• High alkalinity: antibacterial properties.
• Low solubility: does not allow leakage.
• Calcium oxide: promotes tissue biocompatibility.
• Aggregated oxides: great compressive strength.
• High radiopacity: higher radiopacity than that of dentin, allowing excellent radiographic visualization.
• Setting time of 15 minutes: shorter setting time than similar cements.
