Ultradent Products recently released MTA Flow (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate), a repair cement for pulpotomies, pulp capping, root-end filling, apexification, perforation repair and root resorption.
The bioactive powder and liquid/gel system consists of an extremely fine, radiopaque inorganic powder of tricalcium and dicalcium silicate, according to a press release. It sets with a water-based gel and forms a layer of hydroxyapatite. This induces a healing reaction.
The powder/gel combination also offers a variety of mixing options for easy delivery. Its small particle size, which is less than 10 microns, allows for smooth dispensation, while the proprietary gel formulation makes it more water resistant than other MTAs mixed with water.
The mixing ratio is said to be adaptable with every procedure, making it possible for clinicians to achieve any desired consistency including thin, thick and putty. It also has a quick setting time, allowing clinicians to rinse or air dry within 5 minutes of application, without washing away the cement.
MTA Flow can be delivered in thin consistency through a 29 ga Navitip tip for apexification and apical plug applications.

MTA Flow is a bioactive powder and liquid/gel system consisting of an extremely fine, radiopaque, inorganic powder of tricalcium and dicalcium silicate which sets with a water-based gel. When set, the repair cement forms a layer of hydroxyapatite, which induces a healing reaction. The powder/gel combination also gives the clinician a variety of mixing options needed for an effective, non-gritty, easy-to-deliver MTA.
MTA Flow’s small particle size (less than 10 microns) allows for smooth and easy dispensation, and its proprietary gel formulation makes the product more washout-resistant than other MTAs mixed with water. MTA Flow’s mixing ratio is adaptable to every procedure, allowing the clinician the ability to achieve any desired consistency, from thin, to thick, to putty. Its quick setting time also makes it possible to rinse or air-dry without washing away the MTA within five minutes of application. MTA Flow is the only MTA that can be delivered in thin consistency through a 29 ga Navitip®tip for apexification and apical plug applications.
