Consultants’ Comments

• “Easy to use and apply.”
• “I liked the individual single doses.”
• “Great consistency and easy to pack.”
• “Very good adherence to tooth surface without running or slumping.”
• “Intuitive to load and dispense.”
• “The setting time was too long. It is also difficult for children to wait 15 minutes while it sets, before getting their fillings. If I was placing a stainless steel crown next, I really liked it.”
• “The amount of material in one dose is sufficient for smaller pulp perforations. I would like to see more in one dose so that there is enough for larger pulpotomies.”

Clinical Tips

• Use much less liquid than you think you will need and add as needed in small quantities.
• Dip the packing instrument in excess powder.
• Use a carrier to place.
• Avoid applying bonding agent directly to the set material, and air dry carefully to avoid losing material.
• Mix it to a putty consistency, and use a glass slab if you want to extend the working time.
• Watch the video on YouTube on consistency and how best to mix it.

Description

MTA Repair HP is a bioceramic, radiopaque repair cement for endodontic complications, direct pulp capping and pulpotomies. Calcium tungstate provides radiopacity without resulting in staining and an organic plasticizer gives it a putty consistency. MTA Repair HP promotes biological healing, and calcium ions present in the formulation foster remineralization. New root cementum can be formed using this product, dentin is remineralized and complete healing of peri-radicular tissues occurs. In addition, with a compressive strength of 44 MPa, it can also be used as a base material. Its low solubility enables its use in a moist environment, and hydration results in expansion and a complete seal. Setting of the material takes 15 minutes. MTA Repair HP is available in unit doses, delivered as ten 17 0.085g capsules and 10 units of liquid in a kit, and the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
