Question 8

How is it that SendoSeal MTA is possible to use in a pre-mixed syringe, all other MTA based materials needs to be mixed before use?

Ulrika Holm · Accepted Answer

The possibility to apply SendoSeal MTA direct into the root canal is of course a handling benefit.

MTA based materials needs moisture to set, SendoSeal MTA will receive moisture from the humidity and in addition there is always moisture in the root canal, that’s the reason that you don’t have to mix the material.

If you don’t dry the root canal completely you will notice that the setting time for the material will be reduced.
