MTA ANGELUS ®
Proven efficiency in the perforations treatment
Description
Bioceramic reparative cement.
Indication
Treatment of the root canal perforations or furcation;
Sealing of internal and communicating root resorptions;
Retrofilling in endodontic surgeries;
Pulp capping in treatments;
Pulpotomy;
Apexification;
Apexogenesis.
Features and Benefits
Ions Calcium Release
Enhances formation of mineralized tissues; provides biological seal of perforations and total repair of damaged periradicular tissues.
Capable of inducing neoformation of periradicular cementum
Biological action.
Hydrophilic
Can be used in humid areas without losing properties.
High alkalinity
Antibacterial properties.
Low solubility
Does not allow leakage.
Calcium oxide
Promotes tissue biocompatibility.
Aggregated oxides
Great compressive strength.
High radiopacity
Higher radiopacity than that of dentin, allowing excellent radiographic visualization.
Setting time of 15 minutes
Shorter setting time than similar cements.

Frequently Asked Questions
• CHEMICAL
Release of calcium ions: allows formation of mineralized tissues
Highly alcaline: prevents bacterial growth
• PHYSICAL
Low solubility: may be used directly on pulp and periapical tissues
Compressive strength: 44.2 MPa - may be used as base for restorations
Expansion after hydration: seals cavities completely
Setting time (15 minutes): may be used in single appointment
Radiopaque: allows radiographic control
• BIOLOGIC
Biocompatibility: may be used directly on living tissues
New formation of cement: only dental material with this capacity
Remineralization of dentin: allows formation of biologic barrier
Biologic sealing of perforations: complete healing of periapical tissues
White MTA has less iron oxide in its composition. This substance is the responsible for the darker color of the Gray MTA. Such reduction in the levels of iron oxide does not interfere with the great properties of the cement MTA.

The consistency of MTA is different when compared to conventional dental materials. Its application may be performed with insertion spatulas, amalgam carriers or instruments specially designed for MTA handling (e.g., MTA Carrier and MAp System). MTA should never be used with a Lentulo spiral because it needs to be directly placed in the area to be repaired.
Since 2002, the setting time of MTA Angelus was modified from 2.5 hours to 15 minutes. This reduced setting time is exclusive of Angelus. The concentration of calcium sulfate, which is the substance responsible for the long setting time, was decreased. MTA Angelus allows final restorative treatment in the same clinical appointment of MTA insertion.
MTA does not have a proper consistency (flow) for final root canal filling. Also, after its setting, removal would be extremely difficult if reentry is necessary.
