In combination with RelyX™ Unicem 2 Automix Self-Adhesive Universal Resin Cement, Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive and Filtek™ Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative, the post-and-core procedure reportedly can be significantly simplified.

NuSmile

 

 

NuSmile NeoMTA™ (Booth #4617)

NuSmile recently launched NuSmile NeoMTA™. MTA is a bioactive, non-cytotoxic medicament indicated for pulpotomies, pulp-capping and more. Not only does MTA reportedly not contain formaldehyde, but several studies are said to suggest it is actually superior to formocresol in terms of its clinical success rates and the fact that it does not induce internal root resorption. Clinicians simply mix the medicament’s ultra-fine powder with a gel. Achieving the desired consistency requires only altering the powder/gel ratio.
