Angelus Mta Fillapex Small Tube 12gm

Description

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.
  

Key Features

• 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

Specifications

• Working Time :35 minutes
• Setting time average: 130 minutes

COMPONENT NAME

Packaging

• 1 x 7.2g Base paste
• 1 x 4.8g Catalyst paste
• 1 x mixing pad

Directions for Use

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
