9am ~ 12pm, Friday, May 7, 2010 MTA...aka The Endodontic Band-Aid  Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) has been available to dentists for many years, yet for some reason, it is underutilized in the general practice. MTA has a terrific track record and has been used to successfully treat teeth that, 15 years ago, would have to have been extracted. VERY popular with endodontists, its uses include perforation repair, pulp capping, apexification, apical retrofill, and pulpal revascularization. Most of these procedures can be easily and successfully accomplished in the general practice with preparation and planning. However, while you may or may not want to include these techniques in their treatment regime, knowledge of what can be accomplished is important. This presentation will include the rationale, case selection, instrumentation and techniques for using MTA in patient care. Also included will be discussions of treatment outcomes, the different types of MTA available and present and future formulations of similar materials. Dr. Pantera is not associated with, employed by, or consults for, any manufacturer, supplier, or retailer of dental instruments or materials. |
