MTA Gray 1 G 7 Applications

Description

MTA Gray 1 G 7 Applications

Indications:
– Treatment of perforations of root canal and furcation caused iatrogenically or by caries lesion
– Via canal treatment of root perforation due to internal resorption
– Surgical treatment of root perforation due to internal resorption
– Periapical surgery with reverse filling
– Pulp capping
– Pulpotomy (removal of affected coronal pulp to preserve vitality of remaining pulp tissue)
– Apexogenesis (induction of root development in vital teeth with an inflamed coronal pulp)
– Apexification (induction of formation of a mineralized barrier at the root tip of young permanent teeth with incomplete root development and a necrotic pulp)

Advantages:
– Ions Calcium Release: Enhances formation of mineralized tissues; provides biological seal of perforations and total repair of damaged periradicular tissues
– Biological action: Capable of inducing neoformation of periradicular cementum
– Easy to use: does not lose properties due to moisture of oral tissues
– High alkalinity: Bactericidal
– Low solubility: Does not disintegrate
– Biocompatible to oral tissues: Low inflamatory response
– Adequate compressive strength: Can be used as base restoration material
– More radiopaque than dentin and bone: Easy radiograph visibility
– Setting time of 15 minutes: Possibility of immediate restoration
