MTA-Fillapex is a bioceramic endodontic sealer based on MTA, developed by Angelus (Londrina/Parana/Brazil) and launched commercially in 2010. It is a new product that combines the proven advantages of MTA with a superior canal
obturation product. Its formulation in the paste/paste system allows a complete filling of the entire root canal, including
accessory and lateral canals. MTA, present in the composition of MTA-Fillapex, is more stable than calcium hydroxide,
providing constant release of calcium ions for the tissues and maintaining a pH that elicits antibacterial effects. The
tissue recovery and the lack of inflammatory response are optimized by the use of MTA and salicylate resin. The product is eugenol-free and will not interfere with adhesive procedures inside the root canal. Also, it does not cause
discoloration of the tooth structure.
As biological as the pulp tissue.
Bioceramic-based root canal sealer.
RECOMMENDATION
For root canal filling.
INDICATION:
- MTA-Fillapex is indicated for filling root canals of permanent teeth. It can be inserted with the gutta-percha points or with Lentulo drills.
- It can also be used with thermal condensation techniques (heated gutta-percha) because the boiling point of
MTA-Fillapex is 150°C.
Features:
- resence of MTA in the formula: allows the formation of new tissue, including root
cementum - Biocompatibility: rapid recovery of tissues without causing an inflammatory reaction
- High Radiopacity: perfect radiographic visualization
- Does not stain tooth structure as it is free of eugenol and bismuth oxide
- Excellent Flow: the flowable consistency of MTA-Fillapex is engineered to penetrate and
also to fill lateral canals - Setting expansion: provides excellent sealing of the root canal, avoiding the
penetration of tissue fluids and/or bacterial recontamination - Calcium ion release: induces rapid tissue regeneration in sites with bone lesions and
microbial activity - System paste x paste: easy handling and insertion
- Working time: 23 minutes and Setting time: 130 minutes
Key specifications:
- Working Time :35 minutes
- Setting time average: 130 minutes
