Abstract

It has not been long since MTA has been introduced into the market. Perforations, retrograde fillings in root-end resections, open apices, and essential pulp caps can all be sealed with it. Physical, chemical, and physiological aspects of MTA are covered in this review of the literature. According to studies, MTA offers a superior seal than earlier materials like IRM, amalgam, and Super-EBA. Additionally, MTA has great biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity. Studies conducted in vivo showed that MTA had a positive impact on pulpal and periodontal regeneration. MTA looks to be a good material to tightly seal dental hard tissues from the periodontium or to cover the exposed pulp, even though controlled randomised clinical trials are still lacking.
