MTA perforation repair
MTAs: What’s out there?
ProRoot MTA (DentsplySirona)
Copycat products: MTA Angelus, EndoCem MTA, Neo MTA Plus, MTA PlusBiodentine
“Pre-mixed” puEes (Bioceramics)
BC Putty (TotalFill BC Putty, iRoot BP Plus RRM, Endosequence BC Putty)
BC Fast set putty (TotalFill BC FS Putty, iRoot BP FS RRM, Endosequence BC FS Putty)
What is MTA?
• Great seal and low leakage;• Promotes hard tissue formation;• Hydroxyapatite, dentine and cementum can form against MTA, hence the seal
could improve with time;• Biocompatible; and• Relatively insoluble
Cannot compact MTA Mild compaction Good compaction Good compaction
Can extrude MTA past the apex Will crumble before extruding Rarely extrudes Will easily extrude with excess force Will easily extrude with
excess force
My preference Use to push MTA to create first 1-3mm Use to push MTA create first 1-3mm Compact remaining 4-5 mm Compact remaining 4-5 mm
TotalFill BC Putty
• Calcium silicates in a waterless liquid• Easy to use as no mixing with water is required• It sets by absorbing water from the surrounding tissues
TotalFill BC Putty Fast Set (Flowable)
Nasseh 2015
TotalFill BC Pu-y Fast Set (Flowable)
Nasseh 2015
• Problems: claims that flowable putty and sealer are interchangeable.• BC sealer is more soluble than AH Plus*• The majority of the cavity is filled with BC flowable putty or BC sealer. • No clinical study supporting the use of either BC flowable putty or BC sealer as a root-
end filling
Nasseh 2015, Borges 2012
• Double mix method • Concept taken from prosthodon7c impressions• Line the walls and/or deepest to reach areas with thin amounts of BC
flowable pu=y• Pack the cavity with BC pu=y, pushing out excess flowable pu=y• May reduce hypothe7cal chance of voids• No evidence of advantage
MTAs: What makes it worse?
MTA, acidic environments and EDTA
• Infected and resorbing radicular tissues are acidic and can prevent MTA from setting• Consider dressing with CaOH or substantial NaOCl irrigation
• Etchant, conditioners, local anaesthetic, CHX and chelating irrigants (including EDTA) will retard the setting of MTA• Remove chelators with NaOCl and/or sterile water• Don’t use local anaesthetic or CHX as an irrigant• Cover MTA before etching or conditioning remaining tooth structure.

Staining and MTA
Belobrov 2011
Colour changes
Mozynska 2017
General Trends with staining
• “White” MTA can stain just like “Grey” MTA
• Blood contamination leads to staining. I.e. ensure haemostasis prior to MTA placement. Or, reconsider treatment and material options.
• NaOCl residue leads to staining. I.e. wash out with saline/water
• Bismuth oxide leads to staining.• Ie. Consider alternative brands (NeoMTA Plus
or Biodentine or TotalFill Putty instead of ProRoot MTA or MTA Angelus)
• Little bone formation, slight-severe foreign body and chronic inflammatory reactionBone wax at 12 weeks
• Very little bone formation. Increasing volume of fatty bone marrow. Moderate amount of phagocytes and foreign body giant cells.
Expasyl (and then washed out) at 12 weeks
• Almost complete osseous regeneration with woven bone. Bone marrow was mature and free of inflammatory reactions
Stasis (and then washed out) at 12 weeks
• Moderate amounts of new bone formation with remnants of foreign material, chronic inflammation and multi-nucleated cells.
Expasyl and Stasis (and then washed out) at 12 weeks
• Limited bone formation, foreign body material was reduced compared to 3 weeks. Most of the defects were occupied by chronic inflammatory tissue containing giant cells and phagocytes with Expasyl in the cytoplasm.
Expasyl (implanted) at 12 weeks
Medicament residue
• Medicament residue contains thickening agents which can inhibit the setting of MTA• Remove with EDTA followed by
hypochlorite followed by saline/water
Ha 2015
Storage of MTA
• Don’t keep it in the fridge as it will slow the setting and reduce the hardness of the MTA
• Keep it sealed. • Ie. Use jars or only use one-use-only packages no more
than once.

My recommendations
MTA with bismuth oxide for anything outside the aesthetic zone
MTA without bismuth oxide for anything in the aesthetic zone
If Chuck Norris was an Endodontist• All teeth are tender
when Chuck taps them.
MTA for perforation repair
Classification and Prognosis
• Time• Fresh perforation: treated immediately, good prognosis• Old perforation: likely bacterial infection, questionable prognosis
• Size• Smaller than #20 instrument: easier to create seal, good prognosis• Larger than #20: significant damage, questionable prognosis
• Location• Coronal perforation: above biologic width, easy for the patient to
keep clean, good prognosis• Crestal perforation: within biologic width, hence a pocket can
form and is difficult to clean, questionable prognosis• Apical perforation: apical to the crestal bone, unreachable to
bacteria, good prognosisTsesis 2006

Perforation prevention
• Know your canal anatomy• Inspect the radiograph for depth and angulations• Know the axial inclination – tilted teeth, heavily restored
and crowns will throw you offPerforation recognition
• Radiographically mal-positioned file• “Apex” on apex locator far from working
length
More reliable signs
• Sudden pain during during WL determination
• Sudden haemorrhage• Burning pain or bad taste during NaOCl
irrigation
Less reliable, but signs are signs!
Torabinejad 2014
Initial treatment
• But if there is excessive bleeding or too much pus,
dress with CaOH or wait it out until the bleeding
stops
• Do not irrigate NaOCl into the perforation
Perforations should be
sealed immediately
before bacterial
invade the perforation
• Otherwise, dress with CaOH and
• try again another day
• refer on
But, you MUST have
found all the canals
first
• 73% after 3.4 years
• 86% after 2.75 yearsPrognosis studies:

Repair perforation first
Mente 2014
Repair perforation first
• Advantages:• Once repaired, there will not be
any blood contamination affecting obturation of the canals
• Disadvantages• MTA can fall into the canals
making obturation difficult
Mente 2014
Repair perforation first• Tricks
• Magnification and illumination
• If bleeding is coming from the perforation, focus on preparing the canals. The bleeding will be reduced by the time you’ve finished preparing and dressing the canals.
• Place Cavit or small teflon tape or cotton pellets into the canal orifices then restore the perforation with MTA. MTA must not cover the orifice barriers.
• OR, place GP into each canal to stop MTA entering canals. These can easily be removed at the next visit as there is no sealer sticking the GP to the dentine
Mente 2014
Obturate canals first
da Silva 2012
Obturate canals first
• Advantages:• If the canals are already obturated, there’s
no risk of MTA entering the canals.
• Disadvantages• Blood from the perforation can enter the
canals resulting in leakage.• Sealer from canals may enter perforation
Obturate canals first
• Tricks• Magnification and illumination• Cover the perforation with a small
cotton pellet or Endofrost pellet to prevent contamination with sealer and the flow of blood out of the perforation
• The pellet may need to be soaked in NaOCl or a haemostatic agent.
Clinical steps for perforation repair
Revisit Revisit tooth and restore remaining canals and chamber
Temporize Temporize remainder of pulp chamber
Confirm Confirm placement with a radiograph. If an adequate barrier has not been created, rinse material out and repeat procedure
Apply Apply MTA into perforation site. Condense using small plugger, damp cotton pellets or paper points
Mix Mix MTA
Dry Dry the canal system with paper points and isolate the perforation
Rubber dam Using a rubber dam, debride the canals
Modified from ProRoot MTA’s Instructions for Use
My preferred steps for perforation repair
Focus on preparing other canals first – at least perform initial orifice opening and place medicament.
Cover the orifices
Dispense MTA into a dappens dish
Add a single droplet of water to a dappens dish
Pick up small ‘wet crumbs’ and compact it with endodontic pluggers into the perforation. As you compact pieces, you will notice it will become solid-like
Dry cotton pellets are good for cleaning excess amounts
Once it’s compacted, you can gently wash out the debris with saline
