Mineral Trioxide Aggregate : Properties and Clinical Applications.

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was developed more than 20 years ago to seal the pathways of communication of the root canal system. It's currently the preferred material used by endodontists because of its superior properties such as its seal and biocompatibility that significantly improves o...
