MTA FILLAPEX |
| |
|
| |
Presentation:
MTA based root canal sealer
Indication:
For the filling of root canal.
Presentations:
Ref. 828 - MTA Fillapex 12g + mixing pad +
20
automix tips.
Ref. 827 - MTA Fillapex refill 4g + 5 automix tips. |
| |
| Advantages |
- Double syringe with self-mixing tips.
- Paste/Paste.
- Excellent radiopacity.
- Easy handling.
- Great working time: allows long endodontics treatments.
- Only root canal sealer that promotes cementum regeneration. |

Techinque for use
1. Root canal preparation: Prior to insertion of MTA-FILLAPEX, the
root
canal should be
prepared, cleaned and dried, according to the
selected
endodontic technique.
2. Mixing: Performed by the self-mixing tip attached to the syringe.
Use
the cement
immediately after mixing and dispensing by the syringe.
Warning: the self-mixing tip must be discarded after use.
3. Insertion: Use MTA FILLAPEX with gutta-percha or silver points,
coating
them with a thin
layer of the cement and filling the root canal
according to
the selected technique. MTA
FILLAPEX can be applied in the root canal
with a
Lentulo spiral or, directly, with an
applicator tip adapted to the
self-mixing tip.
4. Removal of the root canal filling: Use the conventional techniques
for
the removal of gutta-
percha fillings.
5. Working time: 30 minutes.
6. Setting time: Minimum of 120 minutes (two hours). |

Frequent Doubts
1. How important is the presence of MTA in the composition of
this
material?
MTA was released in 1998 in the world market and
became a
true Endodontics miracle,
which was confirmed by scientifically
proven
results.Its MTA -based composition provides
a perfect sealing
(through
expansion during setting), sealing integrity (due to the low
solubility
of MTA
), high biological regeneration (due to calcium ion release and
antibacterial
properties).
2. Does MTA Fillapex replace MTA Reparative
Cement?
No. MTA Fillapex is an endodontic sealer, while MTAm
Reparative Cement is specifically
indicated for perforation
treatment, apical
plug and pulp capping.
3. What is the working time?
The working time
of MTA
Fillapex is 35 minutes, adequate for both the endodontist and
the
general
practitioner.
4. What is the setting time?
The setting time
is two
and a half hours. Important: MTA Fillapex only sets in contact with
moisture.
Inside the root canal, this moisture is originated from the dentinal
tubules and
periapical tissues. MTA Fillapex does not set completely on the mixing
pad.
5. Can MTA Fillapex be used without gutta-percha
points?
The use without cones is only indicated in selected
cases,
because if the partial removal
of the canal obturation is necessary
for the
purpose of post cementation, such procedure
is difficult to perform.
6. How is the radiopacity of MTA Fillapex?
MTA Fillapex
has one of the greatest radiopacities among the cements of the market.
7. Can MTA Fillapex be used with thermoplasticized
gutta-percha?
The boiling point of MTA Fillapex is 150
degrees
Celsius. If the temperature is kept below
this limit, MTA Fillapex can
be used.
8. Is MTA Fillapex biocompatible with the
tissues?
Yes.
It has two components that ensure biocompatibility: Mineral Trioxide
Aggregate and
Salicylate Resin.
9. How is MTA Fillapex removed from the root
canal?
By
the same technique used for conventional canal sealers.
10. How many applications does one syringe
provide?
One
double syringe with 4 grams is sufficient for 30 applications.
11. Are the mixing tips that come with the product
disposable?
Yes, the mixing tips must be discarded after
use.
12. Must MTA Fillapex be kept in the refrigerator?
No. The
product
is sensitive to moisture and should not be kept in the
refrigerator. |
