In a small area on a glass slab or mixing pad, simply wet the powder by gently incorporating the powder into the liquid until all the powder has been hydrated, approximately 30-45 seconds.  The “mix” should appear shiny. DO NOT OVERMIX SmartMTA.

Once the “mix” loses its shine, immediately place in an amalgam carrier or suitable alternative and place at the operative site.

The amount of water will modify the setting time. More water will slow the set and less water will speed the set. It is important to dispense 2 free-flowing drops of SmartMTA every time for consistent results.

Setting time is 150 seconds and, because there is no washout, the restorative procedure can begin immediately after.

Normally, 1 vial (.2g) is enough for 2 pulpotomies on first molars or one larger second molar.

There is 2g of material in each vial. This is enough to do up to 4 pulpotomies.

2 free-flowing drops.

An amalgam carrier will easily place the material at the operative site. We recommend using a glass slab, however a paper cement mixing pad is a disposable alternative.

Only if using a composite resin restorative material. In this situation, a LC RMGI such as Vitrebond or Limelight may be used. GI containing (RMGI or pure GI) restorative materials can be placed directly over Smart MTA.

Yes, local anesthetic can be used in lieu of the distilled water. However, since two drops of liquid is the perfect amount to wet the powder, it may be difficult to dispense the same amount of local anesthetic consistently.

No. A plastic spatula is recommended.

HemeRX pellets may be used or Sodium Hypochlorite.

We have two options available. The small size contains 10 x 0.2g vials. The large size contains 50 x 0.2g vials.

• Open the SmartMTA Capsule packaging.
• Press the plunger on a hard and plane surface at the same level as the bottom of the capsule. Triturate immediately after activating.
• Insert the capsule into an Amalgamator (env 4,300 vibrations/min.) or High Speed Capsule Mixer for 10 seconds.
• After mixing, insert the SmartMTA immediately into the Capsule applicator. Capsules should be dispensed within 30 seconds of trituration.

See IFU for step-by-step directions for use based on indications.

Yes. The only modification is that the powder is ground a little finer to allow the mix to flow smoothly through the dispenser dispensing tip.

You will need a triturator and an applicator or “clicker” (note: it will be the smaller version, not the large one used for maxi caps).

There is 0.2g of material in each capsule. This is enough to do up to 4 pulpotomies.

SMTAC gives you a fast, predictable, and easy to apply MTA option, allowing you to be more efficient and productive.

We have two options available. The small box contains 10 x 0.2g capsules. The large box contains 20 x 0.2g capsules.
