Retro MTA

-Is a 0.3g powder of hydraulic bioceramic material for repair and vital pulp therapy.
-Portland cement is NOT used as a raw material.
-RetroMTA is a powder consisting of fine, hydrophilic particles that set in the presence of water and form a strong impermeable barrier.
-It contains a hydraulic calcium zirconia complex as a contrast media.
-Setting time is 150 seconds.
-It has no discoloration even in case of blood contamination. Therefore it is ideal for aesthetic repair material. It contains no heavy metals.
-It has no toxicity to cells within 48 hours.
-This means it is a substance for vital pulp therapy. (pulp capping, pulpotomy and pulpectomy)
-In vivo condition, Initial Ph is up to 12.5 and down to 7.8~8.0 in 4 weeks.
-Ex vivo study shows it has a high potential for biomineralization.
