Mineral Trioxide Aggregate For Root Repair In Endodontic Treatment
Waldent Endolife MTA is a biocompatible, hydrophilic endodontic cement to stimulate healing and osteogenesis during root canal procedures. Its particle sizes are strictly controlled during manufacturing. It consists of a powder of fine trioxides and other hydrophilic particles which sets in the presence of humidity. The main component of the material, calcium oxide, when in contact with a humid environment, is converted into calcium hydroxide. This results in a high pH making its surroundings inhospitable for bacterial growth.
Indications :
Repair of root perforations during root canal therapy
Repair of root resorption
Apexification
Root end filling
Pulp capping
Furcation perforation
Setting Time - 15 minute
2 drops of liquid are used for mixing 1 capsule
Features:-
Finely manufactured hydrophilic powder for single use
MTA powder particles are smaller and uniform in size
Improved radiopacity
High alkalinity: final PH of 12.5 provides excellent antibacterial properties.
Expands during setting responsible for excellent sealing ability
