Fumed Silica Base: resin

Manipulation and insertion

• The MTA-Fillapex is paste/paste material presented in automix double syringes or tubes which provide an
  adequate consistency for the cement insertion in the root canal. The presence of nanoparticles enables a
  homogeneous mixture and better flow of the product.
  

Sealing of root canals

• MTA-Fillapex shows an optimized flow due to the nanoparticles. It provides excellent filling and sealing of the
  canals, main and lateral, as shown below.
  
• The two pastes of MTA-Fillapex were measured in equal volumes and dispensed in a glass plate.
  
• After complete homogenization (±30 s), a volume of 0.05 ml of the mixture was dispensed on the center of a glass plate. At 180±5 s after mixing, a second plate was placed centrally on the top of the sealer, with a 100 g weight on it (total mass on the plate of 120±2 g).
  
  
• Ten minutes after mixing the weight was removed and the maximum and minimum diameters of the
  compressed disc of MTA-Fillapex were measured.
  

Film Thickness

• Initially, we measured the thickness of two glass plates together, using a Mitutoyo Digital micrometer
  
  
• Then, a portion of the MTA-Fillapex previously handled was dispensed in the center of one of the
  glass plates, covering it with another glass plate
  
  
• Finally, a weight of 150 N (15 Kg) was applied on the center of the plate
  
  
• The sealant filled completely the space between the glass plates
  
  
• After 10 minutes, the thickness of the two glass plates plus the sealing thickness were measured with the aid of a Mitutoyo Digital micrometer.
  
  

Dimensional Change

• The MTA-Fillapex, unlike resin cement, presents an important characteristic required by the sealing materials, which is the setting expansion.
  
• 2g of MTA-Fillapex were prepared with 0.02 ml of water and dispensed into a mold to obtain three samples
  
• Two glass plates were pressed upon both surfaces of the mold containing the material. The glass plates were fixed with the aid of a device for stabilization
  
• After 5 minutes, the mold was taken to a relative humidity chamber of 95 % to 100% and later placed in dry heat at 37°C to reach the setting time (2h 20min);
  
• The setting was confirmed by surface indentation with a Gilmore needle until the sample did not present any visible marks
  
• The samples were polished with 600 grit sandpaper
  
• The samples were measured
  
• These samples were placed in distilled water and in dry heat at 37°C

• Presence 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
