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
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
