Ammdent Root Plus MTA

Features 

• Good Compressive Strength.
• Ions Calcium Release: Enhances the formation of mineralized tissues; provides the biological seal of perforations and total repair of damaged peri-radicular tissues.
• Hydrophilic: Can be used in humid areas without losing properties.
• High alkalinity: Antibacterial properties.
• Low solubility: Does not allow leakage.
• Calcium oxide: Promotes tissue Biocompatibility.
• Aggregated oxides: Great compressive strength.
• High radiopacity: Higher radiopacity than that of dentin, allowing excellent radiographic visualization.

Description 

ROOT PLUS MTA powder is consisting of very fine hydrophilic particles of several mineral oxides.

After contact with ROOT+PLUS liquid, it forms a gel hardens to an impermeable barrier.

 COMPOSITION :

• The powder is consisting of very fine hydrophilic particles of several mineral oxides

• After contact with ROOT+PLUS liquid, it forms a gel hardens to an impermeable barrier.

INDICATION : 

• Repair of root perforations during root canal therapy.

• Root end filling(retrograde).

• Root capping.

• Root end filling(orthograde).

 ADVANTAGES:

• Anti-microbial activity. 

• Non-Toxic & Non-mutagenic.

• Vasoconstrictive. Beneficial for hemostasis most important in pulp-capping.

• Excellent long-lasting sealability.

• Decreases solubility.  

• Ability to set even in moisture or blood.

• No Dimensional Changes in the setting. 

• Minimum micro linkage through long setting time prevents setting time, prevents setting shrinkage.

• High success rate.

• Alkaline Ph, Which may impart an antibacterial effect on some facultative bacteria.

• It can induce the formation of dentin, cementum, bone and periodontal ligament.

• Excellent biocompatibility and appropriate mechanical properties.

• Produces and artificial barrier, against which an obturating material can be condensed.

• More radio-opaque than Ca(OH).
