Abstract
Introduction
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was developed because existing materials did not
have the ideal characteristics for orthograde or retrograde root-end fillings. MTA
has been recommended primarily as a root-end filling material, but it has also been
used in pulp capping, pulpotomy, apical barrier formation in teeth with open apexes,
repair of root perforations, and root canal filling. Part I of this literature review
presented a comprehensive list of articles regarding the chemical and physical properties
as well as the antibacterial activity of MTA. The purpose of part II of this review
is to present a comprehensive list of articles regarding the sealing ability and biocompatibility
of this material.
Methods
A review of the literature was performed by using electronic and hand-searching methods
for the sealing ability and biocompatibility of MTA from November 1993–September 2009.
Results
Numerous studies have investigated the sealing ability and biocompatibility of MTA.
Conclusions
On the basis of available evidence it appears that MTA seals well and is a biocompatible
material.
