BACKGROUND Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a biomaterial that has been investigated for endodontic applications. With the increased use of MTA in pulp capping, pulpotomy, perforation repair, apexification and obturation, the material that would be placed over MTA as a final restoration is an important matter. As composite resins are one of the most widely used final restorative materials, t...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), is unique endodontic cement that was initially introduced as a material for root perforation repair. Over the years its use has expanded to include versatile applications in the field of pediatric dentistry. The purpose of this article was to conduct an updated review on mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and on its applications in the practice of pediatric denti...

This manuscript previews the introduction of significant advances in materials which are used conservative management pulp primary and permanent teeth. These posses property inducing tertiary dentin formation protection dentin-pulp complex. Calcium Hydroxide, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Biodentine widely discussed along with some recently introduced materials. The aim this article is to o...

Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in repair of furcal perforation. In this article, the use of MTA in treating 2 cases of furcal perforation (accidental and caries-related) and subsequent long-term follow-up are described.

A number of root-repair materials have been developed by various manufacturers, including Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) that has adequate biological and physical properties of a good root repair material [1,2]. MTA has been used for apexification, perforation repair, root resorption, and as a root-end filling material. The main ingredients of MTA are silicate oxide, tricalcium oxide, tricalc...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has shown potential as a root-end filling material. This clinical case describes the successful treatment of a premolar with an open apex using MTA and the warm gutta-percha technique. The results suggested that MTA may be used as an apical filling material in permanent teeth with multiple canals.
