INNOVATION

Professor White and colleagues have developed a new endodontic root-end filling, repair, obturating, and pulp capping material. The filling material has none of the disadvantages of currently used materials, such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and resin-modified glass-ionomers. Yet, it boasts additional advantages such as moisture friendliness a quick light-cure command set, wide clinical application, and low cost. The technology has applications in dental offices as an alternative to existing materials for root end-filling during root canal surgery and other dental procedures.
