- Aspecific formulation of EndoSeal MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) White, a bioceramic root canal sealer, used in endodontic procedures for permanent root canal filling and various repair applications
Uses
- Permanent root canal obturation:
- Sealing the entire root canal system, often in conjunction with a single gutta-percha cone, to prevent reinfection
- Root perforation repair:
- Sealing communications between the pulp space and external root structures
- Apexification:
- Encouraging the formation of a calcific apical barrier in teeth with immature apices and necrotic pulps
- Apexogenesis:
- Placed over vital pulp tissue in immature teeth to promote continued root development after pulp exposure
- Pulp capping:
- Used for both indirect and direct pulp capping procedures to protect the pulp and induce hard tissue formation
- Surgical endodontics:
- Employed as a root-end filling material during apical surgery
Features:
- Bioceramic, MTA-based composition:
- A pozzolan cement-based material that leverages the physical and biological properties of traditional MTA
- Premixed and injectable:
- Comes in a pre-loaded syringe, eliminating the need for manual powder/liquid mixing and allowing for direct application into the canal system
- Moisture-activated setting:
- Solidifies by absorbing moisture from the surrounding dentinal tubules and periapical tissues
- Dimensional stability:
- Expands slightly (around 2%) during setting, which ensures a tight, hermetic apical seal and prevents gaps, unlike some traditional sealers that shrink
- High radiopacity:
- Easily visible on dental X-rays for clear monitoring and treatment verification
- Eugenol-free:
- Will not interfere with the adhesion of other materials inside the root canal
- White aesthetic:
- High resistance to discoloration, which is important for aesthetic outcomes in anterior teeth
- Easy retrieval:
- Can be easily removed with NiTi files if retreatment is necessary
Benefits
- Superior biocompatibility:
- Well-tolerated by surrounding tissues, minimizing inflammation and promoting healing
- Promotes hard tissue formation:
- Releases calcium hydroxide during setting, which induces the formation of a strong dentin bridge or bone-like tissue, contributing to a biological seal
- Strong antibacterial effect:
- Its high pH provides significant antimicrobial activity, including against E. faecalis, a common bacterium in persistent infections, helping prevent secondary infections
- Excellent sealing ability:
- Outstanding flowability allows it to penetrate into complex canal anatomies, including accessory and lateral canals, ensuring a comprehensive, void-free seal
- User-friendly application:
- The premixed, injectable nature simplifies the procedure, reduces chair time, and minimizes material waste
- Predictable and reliable outcomes:
- Its effectiveness in sealing and promoting healing leads to a higher success rate for root canal treatment
