MTA Angelus

RECOMMENDATION:

• Treatment of the root canal perforations or furcation;
• Sealing of internal and communicating root resorptions;
• Reprofiling in endodontic surgeries;
• Pulp capping in treatments;
• Apexification and apexogenesis;
• Intracoronary sealing prior to internal tooth bleaching of pulp less teeth;
• Apical sealing (plug) for root canal filling in teeth with wide apical opening.

CHARACTERISTICS:

• Ions Calcium Release
• Capable of inducing neoformation of Periradicular cementum
• Hydrophilic
• High alkalinity
• Low solubility
• Calcium oxide
• Aggregated oxides
• High radiopacity
• Setting time of 15 minutes

BENEFITS:

• Enhances formation of mineralized tissues; provides biological seal of perforations and total repair of damaged Periradicular tissues
• Biological action
• Can be used in humid areas without losing properties
• Antibacterial properties
• Does not allow leakage
• Promotes tissue biocompatibility
• Great compressive strength
• Higher radiopacity than that of dentin, allowing excellent radiographic visualization
• Shorter setting time than similar cements
