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?
No. 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 150ºC. If the equipment temperature is kept below this point, yes, Fillapex can be used.
Is MTA Fillapex biocompatible with the tissues?
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.
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?
No. 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.
