SmartMTA combines ultra fine hydrophilic particles and hydraulic calcium zirconia to form an impermeable barrier that defends against bacteria. Best of all, our product uses innovative bioceramic materials for regeneration and biomineralization, and is ideal for both primary and permanent teeth. This unique formulation means that SmartMTA does not contain bismuth oxide, which can cause staining.
Individually packaged to reduce cross-contamination, SmartMTA is our proven formula that keeps control in your hands and offers an economical solution for all your vital pulp therapy needs.
In a small area on a glass slab or mixing pad, simply wet the powder by gently incorporating the powder into the liquid until all the powder has been hydrated, approximately 30-45 seconds. The “mix” should appear shiny. DO NOT OVERMIX SmartMTA.
Once the “mix” loses its shine, immediately place in an amalgam carrier or suitable alternative and place at the operative site.
The amount of water will modify the setting time. More water will slow the set and less water will speed the set. It is important to dispense 2 free-flowing drops of SmartMTA every time for consistent results.
Setting time is 2.5 minutes and, because there is no washout, the restorative procedure can begin immediately after.
Normally, 1 vial (.2g) is enough for 2 pulpotomies on first molars or one larger second molar.
There is .2g of material in each vial. This is enough to do 2–4 pulpotomies.
2 free-flowing drops.
An amalgam carrier will easily place the material at the operative site. We recommend using a glass slab, however a paper cement mixing pad is a disposable alternative.
Only if using a composite resin restorative material. In this situation, a LC RMGI such as Vitrebond or Limelight may be used. GI containing (RMGI or pure GI) restorative materials can be placed directly over SmartMTA.
Yes, local anesthetic can be used in lieu of the distilled water. However, since two drops of liquid is the perfect amount to wet the powder, it may be difficult to dispense the same amount of local anesthetic consistently.
No. A plastic spatula is recommended.
HemeRx pellets may be used or Sodium Hypochlorite.
We have two options available. The small size contains 10 x 0.2g vials. The large size contains 50 x 0.2g vials.
