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.

Features

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

Direction to Use

Direction to 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

 

FAQs

FAQs

WHY IS THE PRESENCE OF MTA IMPORTANT IN THE COMPOSITION OF THIS
PRODUCT?
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).

DOES MTA FILLAPEX REPLACE THE MTA REPARATIVE CEMENT?
MTA Fillapex is an endodontic sealer, while MTA Reparative is indicated for the
treatment of perforations, root resorption, apical plug and pulp capping.

WHAT IS THE WORKING TIME OF FILLAPEX?
The working time is 23 minutes, which allows the root canal filling to be calmly
performed by both the general practitioner and the endodontist.

WHAT IS THE SETTING TIME OF FILLAPEX?
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.

SHOULD MTA FILLAPEX BE USED ALONE OR ASSOCIATED WITH GUTTA-PERCHA POINTS?
Fillapex can be used in both techniques: associated with the points and also for
root canal fillings without the points.

HOW RADIOPAQUE IS MTA FILLAPEX?
It is one of the most radiopaque endodontic sealers in the market.

CAN MTA FILLAPEX CAN BE USED IN THE THERMAL CONDENSATION
TECHNIQUE?
The boiling point of Fillapex is 150°C. If the equipment temperature is kept below this point, yes, Fillapex can be used.

IS MTA FILLAPEX BIOCOMPATIBLE WITH THE TISSUES?
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.

HOW CAN MTA FILLAPEX BE REMOVED FROM THE CANAL?
With the same techniques indicated for the other endodontic sealers.

CAN MTA FILLAPEX BE KEPT IN THE REFRIGERATOR?
MTA Fillapex is sensitive to moisture and should not be stored in the refrigerator.

HOW MANY CASES CAN BE MADE WITH ONE SYRINGE/TUBE OF FILLAPEX?
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.
