APPLICATION TECHNIQUE
Dispense equal amounts of paste and catalyst.
Combine the two ingredients until they are evenly distributed.
Transfer the cement-wrapped gutta percha to the canal.
Cut off the excess gutta percha with a heated cutter instrument.
Create a slight vertical condensation to accommodate gutta percha and prevent gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The MTA cement became available in the market in 1998 and it turned out to be a “miraculous” material in the field of Endodontics, due to the scientifically proven excellent results obtained ever since. MTA as a component means perfect sealing (provided by its setting expansion), sealing integrity (provided by its low solubility) and the highest biological regeneration (provided by the release of calcium ions and their antimicrobial action).
No. MTA Fillapex is an endodontic sealer, while MTA Reparative is indicated for the treatment of perforations, root resorption, apical plug and pulp capping.
The working time is 23 minutes, which allows the root canal filling to be calmly performed by both the general practitioner and the endodontist.
Two hours and thirty minutes. Important: MTA Fillapex only sets in contact with moisture. Inside the root canal the moisture is derived from the dentinal tubules and from the periapical tissues. MTA Fillapex will not set completely on the mixing pad
The use of MTA Fillapex without gutta-percha cones is indicated in selected cases, because if partial removal is necessary for the insertion of posts, the procedure is difficult to perform, as is the case with other endodontic sealers.
It is one of the most radiopaque endodontic sealers in the market.
The boiling point of Fillapex is 150°C. If the equipment temperature is kept below this point, yes, Fillapex can be used.
Yes. MTA Fillapex presents two components that guarantee this property: MTA, known as the most biologically compatible endodontic material and the salicylate resin, an organic and therapeutic resin widely used in endodontic cements.
With the same techniques indicated for the other endodontic sealers.
No. MTA Fillapex is sensitive to moisture and should not be stored in the refrigerator.
1 double syringe with 4 g provides an average of 15 cases, depending on the tooth being treated.
1 tube with 30 g provides an average of 200 cases, depending on the tooth being treated.
1 tube with 12 g provides an average of 80 cases, depending on the tooth being treated.
