5. Insert preparation into selected field by means of the amalgam carrier (pic.5).
After mixing with MTA+ liquid (or distilled water) the prepared mixture should be used within 10 minutes after preparation.
Comparison of MTA grains taken with scanning microscope:
MTA+ Cerkamed is characterized by the smallest grain size in comparison to materials of other manufacturers.
Why the smaller grain is better?
- facilitates penetration of calcium ions to the demineralized tissue
- facilitates packing material in the application site
- facilitates preparation
- increases filling tightness
- increases material strength
- homogeneous and phasing of the material reduces setting time
Pic.1. Pictures of MTA+ Cerkamed grains taken with scanning microscope.
Visible grains with similar size and compact weight. Homogeneous structure facilitates preparation, material application and improves the tightness.
Pic. 2, Pic 3. Pictures of other MTA leaders on the market.
Visible the differences in grain sizes. Lack of homogeneous structure hinder the preparation and accurate application and decreases the filling tightness.
