ProRoot MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) Root Repair Material, in both original gray and tooth-colored formulas, provides the predictable results and healing response clinicians know and trust.
Made of fine hydrophilic particles that set in the presence of water, ProRoot MTA seals off all pathways between the root canal system and surrounding tissues, significantly reducing bacterial migration1,2. Its excellent compatibility with the dentinal wall allows for a predictable clinical healing response3, 4. And its water-based chemistry permits normal setting in the presence of moisture.
ProRoot MTA is ideal for creating an apical plug during apexification, repairing root perforations during root canal therapy and treating internal root resorption. Use it as both a root-end filling material and pulp-capping material.
Each packet of ProRoot MTA comes with a pre-measured unit dose of sterilized water for fast preparation. Once the material is mixed, it quickly reaches a working consistency for efficient application.
The ProRoot MTA Delivery System simply makes achieving the material’s predictable results even faster and easier with improved material handling and more precise placement.
