Description
Maruchi EndoCem Grey MTA
ENDOCEM MTA is a revolutionary next-generation MTA product based on the science of pozzolan reactions. ENDOCEM MTA exhibits high efficacy not only in apical retro-filling and root perforations but also in vital pulp therapies such as direct pulp capping. ENDOCEM MTA is non-miscible with liquid components, including blood, and thus is ideal for use in clinical situations where bleeding is difficult to control. ENDOCEM MTA maintains its integrity in less-than-ideal clinical situations, including contamination with blood or saliva and the presence of inflammation or infection. It is compatible with any type of bonding agent. It has a fast setting time that allows for resin bonding to occur immediately after setting.
Unlike conventional MTAs that exhibit bonding strength changes dependent on external factors such as saliva, blood, or inflammation, ENDOCEM MTA exhibits a consistent level of bond strength regardless of external factors. ENDOCEM MTA exhibits consistent shear bond strength across all bonding agent types. This is further proof that ENDOCEM MTA is compatible with all bonding agents, and not adversely affected by specific characteristics of certain bonding agents.
Mechanical property :
ENDOCEM MTA maintains its integrity in less than ideal clinical situations, including contamination with blood or saliva and presence of inflammation or infection. It is compatible with any type of bonding agents.
Superior sealing property :
Study was done to check superior sealing property of EndoCem Grey MTA. In this MTA was mixed in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines, it was applied in a 5 mm X 2 mm Teflon tube, and then immediately immersed in FBS. After 24 hours it was taken out, washed, and observed under SEM. When (b) Proroot MTA is used for the same protocol the FBS infiltrated part was found to have been washed away during the setting process. When (c) IRM is used for the same protocol resistance to wash-out is comparable to that of (a) ENDOCEM MTA. However, many adjacent gaps are observed, and this is indicative of weaknesses where liquids, including water or blood, could possibly invade.
Least discoloration:-
ENDOCEM MTA allows teeth to maintain natural esthetics as it does not cause discoloration.
Picture view after tooth was filled with MTA and restored in artificial saliva.
Unlike (b) Proroot MTA or (c) Angelus MTA, (a) ENDOCEM MTA does not cause discoloration of adjacent tooth.
This is possible through the pozzolan reaction’s blockage of dentinal tubules. However, it should be noted that if leakage occurs in the final restoration, ENDOCEM MTA itself could undergo corrosion and that process may lead to discoloration.
Excellent bio-compatibility:-
Endocem patented manufacturing techniques guarantee ENDOCEM MTA’s excellent biocompatibility. SEM observation (x1000) of MG63 cells incubated for 72 hrs on (a)ENDOCEM MTA, (b)ProRoot MTA, (c)IRM
Antibacterial Effect:-
ENDOCEM MTA has antimicrobial effects, not only on S. Mutans but also on E. Faecalis.
