Proerties and uses of MTA


Properties

Ø  ph initial 10.2 & rises to 12.5 when set

Ø  Highly alkaline

Ø  Setting Time is 2 hrs 45min

Ø  Compressive strength 40 mpa immediately
   & 70 mpa after 21days

Ø  MTA has calcium oxide which reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide

Ø  This causes formation of calcite crystals & & fibronectin

Ø  These act as initiating step for hard tissue barrier formation

Ø  Fibronectin promotes cellular adhesion & differentiation

Uses

Ø  Repair of perforation

Ø  Root end filling material

Ø  Pulp capping agent

Ø  Apexification

Ø  Apical third filling material

Ø  Obturating material

Advances in material aspect MTA


Advances in material aspect
MTA

Ø  Mineral Trioxide Aggregate
Ø  Developed at Loma Linda University
Ø  By Dr. Mohammed Torabinejad
Ø  Initially developed as perforation repair & root end filling material .
Ø  Now finds wide application in endodontics
Material is
FDA approved & commercially available as
Pro Root MTA











Composition
Ø  Main molecules are calcium & phosphorous ions
Ø  Derived from components
   --tricalcium silicate ,
   --tricalcium aluminate ,
   --tricalcium oxide &
   --silicate oxide
Ø    Bismuth oxide imparts radio-opacity
Portland cements & MTA
Ø  Portland cements contain the same components as MTA except that MTA also contains bismuth oxide for radio-opacity
