Cerkamed MTA+ 0.14 g

Cerkamed MTA+ (0.14g) is a mineral trioxide aggregate for Egyptian dental practices, used as a powder/liquid material for filling and remineralisation of root canals with high radiopacity.

Composition

MTA+ powder: oxides of calcium, silicon, iron, aluminium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium phosphate (representing approx. 3/4 of the total), plus bismuth and zirconium oxide.
MTA+ liquid: Ph. Eur. purified water.

Clinical Uses

• Perforations of root canal walls
• Intracanal resorptions
• Root tip backfilling
• Direct pulp capping
• Pulp amputation surgery
• Treatment of teeth with incomplete root development

The high content of calcium ions remineralises tooth tissue, and calcium-silicon compounds support tissue reconstruction following wall perforation and intracanal resorption. Radiopaque and compliant with EN ISO 6876.

Contraindications

Do not use in inflammatory conditions. Acidic pH values disrupt the setting of MTA+. MTA+ cannot be used as a full root canal filling, as its potential removal will be difficult.

Warnings and Precautions

Causes serious eye damage. Irritating to the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and skin. May cause respiratory irritation. Exposure to moisture, including blood, reduces the curing time. Complete filling of the root canal may reduce the resistance of the root to fracture. Discolouration might occur. Endodontic treatment may involve temporary pain, swelling and postoperative tenderness. The use of permanent dental fillings can be associated with bacterial microleakage. MTA+ has cytotoxic potential. Use a cofferdam, disposable gloves, safety goggles/visors and protective clothing when handling the product. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If swallowed, rinse the mouth with water; do not induce vomiting. Avoid creating and inhaling dust. In case of worrying symptoms, consult a doctor. Keep out of the reach of children. Any serious incident involving the product should be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority of the State in which the user or patient is domiciled.
