Mineral trioxide aggregate as material of choice in endodontic therapy
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a material with broad indications in endodontics. Currently, this material is used for pulp capping, pulpotomy, as apical barrier in teeth with necrotic pulp and open apex, and in the treatment of various root canal perforations. By comparing the biological re...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a material with broad indications in endodontics. Currently, this material is used for pulp capping, pulpotomy, as apical barrier in teeth with necrotic pulp and open apex, and in the treatment of various root canal perforations. By comparing the biological response of pulp tissue capped with calcium hydroxide and MTA, the superiority of MTA has been indicated. The bridge of hard tissue formed under MTA prevented the irritation of pulp. Histological studies of pulpotomy in dog teeth have shown after 120 days a hard tissue without necrosis formed under MTA. MTA is also the material of choice for retrograde root canal obturation and lateral perforation. Meta analysis of published papers on MTA in recent years indicated the great clinical success of this material which ensured a good canal seal and superior biocompatibility.
