• TECHNIQUE OF USE
  
• Root canal preparation: Prior to insertion of MTA-FILLAPEX, the root canal should be prepared and cleaned
  according to the selected endodontic technique. The device requires an isolated dry field; therefore, moisture
  found in the canal or in the ambient humidity is sufficient to initiate MTA-FILLAPEX hardening;
  
• Mixing:
• Dual syringe: The dual syringe ensures equal mixing in a 1:1 ratio. Press plunger to extrude material directly
  onto a glass slab, mixing pad or into the tooth canal. The cement should be used immediately after mixing;
  
• Tubes: Mix equal volume units (1:1). Mix for 30 seconds to a homogeneous consistency;
  
• Insertion: Use MTA-FILLAPEX with gutta-percha or silver points, coating them with a thin layer of the
  cement and filling the root canal according to the selected technique. MTA-FILLAPEX can be applied in the
  root canal with a Lentulo spiral or, directly, with an applicator tip adapted to the self-mixing tip;
  WARNING: The self-mixing tip must be discarded after use.
  
• Removal of the root canal filling: Use the conventional techniques for the removal of gutta-percha fillings;
  
• Working time: 23 minutes

Question: Can we use it for apexification?
Answer: No, Angelus MTA Fillapex Smartmix Syringe (4 gm) is a root canal sealer and is not indicated for apexification procedures.

Question: Why is the presence of MTA important in the composition of this product?
Answer: The MTA cement became available in the market in 1998 and it turned out to be a ''miraculous'' material in the field of Endodontics, due to the scientifically proven excellent results obtained ever since. MTA as a component means perfect sealing (provided by its setting expansion), sealing integrity (provided by its low solubility) and the highest biological regeneration (provided by the release of calciumions and their antimicrobial action).

Question: Does MTA Fillapex replace the MTA Reparative Cement?
Answer: No. MTA Fillapex is an endodontic sealer, while MTA Reparative is indicated for the treatment of perforations, root resorption, apical plug and pulp capping.

Question: How many cases can be made with one syringe/tube of Fillapex?
Answer: 1 double syringe with 4 g provides an average of 15 cases, depending on the toothbeing treated.1 tube with 30 g provides an average of 200 cases, depending on the tooth being treated.

Question: What is the working time of Fillapex?
Answer: The working time is 23 minutes, which allows the root canal filling to be calmly performed by both the general practitioner and the endodontist.
