About MTA and cement accessories
MTA and cement accessories are the carriers, applicators and needle tips that take a thick endodontic cement or paste to where it has to set. How the material is delivered changes the result: one study comparing a purpose-made paste carrier with a syringe and spreader and with a syringe and rotary spiral found the carrier left the denser fill of calcium hydroxide. ISO 3630-4 covers the auxiliary instruments of a root canal procedure, paste carriers and cannulae among them.
The instruments that place the cement, rather than the cement.
