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.
Gutta-percha does not stick to the canal wall, so a sealer is used with it to fill the space between the filling material and the dentine, and the accessory canals and irregularities as well. Sealers are divided into groups by their chemical composition.
ISO 6876 is the international standard for endodontic sealing materials, and splits them into materials for conventional orthograde sealing and materials for apexification, perforation filling, resorption treatment or retrograde root-end filling. The FDA regulates a root canal filling resin as Class II, or Class III if chloroform is one of its ingredients (21 CFR 872.3820).
How the sealers and cements differ
- Endodontic Cements — Mixed from a powder and a liquid, or supplied in a capsule, and set in the canal.
- Bioceramic Sealers — Water-based, and set by the moisture in the tooth. A meta-analysis of leakage tests found no significant difference in sealing ability between bioceramic and epoxy resin sealers.
- Resin-Based Sealers — Two pastes mixed together, set by their own chemistry rather than by moisture.
- Temporary Filling Materials — Meant to come out again: it holds the access cavity closed between visits. In one study none of the materials tested stopped bacterial leakage completely.
- MTA & Cement Accessories — The instruments that place the cement, rather than the cement.
- Kits — A root canal sealer and two calcium hydroxide pastes, filed under the kits name.
What to look at when choosing a sealer or cement
Setting: calcium silicate cements set on contact with water, and their setting time under wet conditions is about 40 to 120 minutes. That long setting time is named as one of their main drawbacks.
Radiopacity: a radiopacifying material is added to these cements so they can be told apart from the structures around them on a radiograph. Discolouration of the tooth with these cements is attributed mostly to oxidation of the heavy metal oxides in them, such as iron or bismuth.
Calcium release: a review describes these cements as the only dental materials that keep releasing calcium for a long time after they set in a moist place.
