MTA Angelus

MTA ANGELUS® belongs to the family of endodontic cements, mainly composed of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), intended for patients who require endodontic procedures, with the function of repairing endodontic complications in the root canal of the tooth in cases of lateral and furca perforations, internal resorption, root end filling, pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexification and apexogenesis.

Indication:

• Treatment of the root canal perforations or furcation
• Sealing of internal and communicating root resorptions
• Retrofilling in endodontic surgeries
• Pulp capping in treatments
• Pulpotomy (removal of affected coronal pulp to preserve vitality of remaining pulp tissue) 
• Apexification (induction of formation of a mineralized barrier at the root tip of young permanent teeth with incomplete root development and a necrotic pulp)
• Apexogenesis (induction of root development in vital teeth with an inflamed coronal pulp)

Features and Benefits:

• Ions Calcium Release - Enhances formation of mineralized tissues; provides biological seal of perforations and total repair of damaged periradicular tissues
• Capable of inducing neoformation of periradicular cementum - Biological action
• Hydrophilic - Can be used in humid areas without losing properties
• High alkalinity - Antibacterial properties
• Low solubility - Does not allow leakage
• Calcium oxide - Promotes tissue biocompatibility
• Aggregated oxides - Great compressive strength
• High radiopacity - Higher radiopacity than that of dentin, allowing excellent radiographic visualization
• Setting time of 15 minutes - Shorter setting time than similar cements
• MTA ANGELUS® WHITE: does not stain the dentinary structure (without bismuth oxide)
