Intended Use
MTA Fillapex is a root canal sealer intended for the permanent sealing of root canals and may be used in combination with root canal obturation materials.
Device Story
MTA Fillapex is a mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and resin-based root canal sealer. It is supplied as a two-component paste in a dual-barrel syringe for consistent dispensing. The device is used by dentists during endodontic procedures to permanently fill the root canal system following debridement and disinfection. It is hydrophilic, meaning it does not require a dry field and utilizes moisture for the setting process. The sealer is applied in conjunction with obturation materials like gutta-percha or silver points. It provides a permanent seal to the canal, aiding in the success of the root canal treatment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing conforming to ISO 6876 (flow, working time, setting time, film thickness, dimensional change, solubility, radiopacity) and biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-5.
Technological Characteristics
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and resin-based root canal sealer. Two-component paste system in dual-barrel syringe. Hydrophilic setting mechanism. Non-sterile. Performance characteristics conform to ISO 6876.
Indications for Use
Indicated for permanent sealing of root canals in patients undergoing endodontic treatment, used in combination with root canal obturation materials (e.g., gutta-percha or silver points).
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### INTENDED USE
MTA Fillapex is a root canal sealer intended for the permanent sealing of root canals and may be used in combination with root canal obturation materials.
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION
MTA Fillapex is a mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and resin root canal sealer used during endodontic treatment to permanently fill the canal system following debridement and disinfection. It consists of two component pastes that are combined in a dual barrel syringe for ease of dispensing and consistent dosage. Being hydrophilic in nature, MTA Fillapex is desirable as a root filling material because an isolated dry field is not necessary for use. Moisture does not negatively affect the sealing ability and is required for proper setting. It is used in combination with gutta-percha or silver points during root canal obturation. The device is provided non-sterile.
#### EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE
K 112046 - Angelus Industria de Produtos Odontologicos S/A, MTA Angelus,
K080203 - Dentsply International, MTA ROOT CANAL SEALER,
- K820215 Dentsply International, Improved Dycal,

- K893794 Williams Dental Co. Apexit, and
K063237 - Bisco, Inc., TheraCal LC.
The subject device is compositionally substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above. The design of the subject device (base/catalyst, two paste system) is similar to the devices cleared in K820215, K010940, K102163, and K893794. The intended use of the subject device is the same as the devices cleared in K112046, K080203, K010940, K102163, and K893794. The subject and predicate devices have the same/similar technological characteristics.
#### NON-CLINICAL TESTING
Biocompatibility data were provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Side-by-side cytotoxicity testing (conforming to ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity) was performed that compared the subject device with predicates.
Performance testing that conformed to the protocols and recommended values described in ISO 6876 Dental root canal sealing materials was performed. Test reports included flow, working time, setting time, film thickness, dimensional change, solubility and radiopacity.
#### CONCLUSION
The conclusions drawn from the substantial equivalence discussion as well as non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed devices identified above.
