Intended Use
MTA-Fillapex is a root canal sealer intended for the permanent scaling 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 (base and catalyst) 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, allowing for use in non-isolated, moist environments. The sealer is applied in conjunction with gutta-percha or silver points during obturation. The material sets in the presence of moisture, providing a permanent seal. The device benefits patients by facilitating effective root canal obturation without requiring a strictly dry field.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing compared subject device to predicate (K113568) regarding flowability, working time, setting time, dimensional change, solubility, shelf life, and biocompatibility. Results demonstrated substantial equivalence. Biocompatibility testing confirmed the material is non-mutagenic and well-tolerated.
Technological Characteristics
Two-paste (base/catalyst) system. Composition: dicalcium/tricalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, calcium oxide, pentaerythritol rosinate, n-ethyl-o, p-toluenesulfonamide salicylate resin, bismuth oxide, fumed silica, titanium dioxide. Hydrophilic. Standards: ISO 6876:2012. Delivery: dual-barrel syringe.
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
A root canal filling resin is a device composed of material, such as methylmethacrylate, intended for use during endodontic therapy to fill the root canal of a tooth.

### Description of Proposed Device
MTA Fillapex is a mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and resin toot 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.
### Indications for Use
MTA-Fillapex is a root canal sealer intended for the permanent scaling of root canals and may be used in combination with root canal obturation materials.

# Substantial Equivalence
The subject device and the predicate devices have intended use and have the same technological characteristics, including the same range of physical and chemical properties. The subject and predicate devices are packaged in similar materials and utilize similar methods of application. Any differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy.
# Performance Data
MTA Fillapex is a modification of K113568. They are designated for the equivalent dental applications and have comparable chemical and physical properties, and performance specifications. An additional predicate device (K010940) includes each specific chemical component that is equivalent to those found in MTA Fillapex, providing evidence that these materials are safe and effective for medical device use. Furthermore, MTA Fillapex and K113568 have equivalent packaging containers and delivery systems.
MTA Fillapex has undergone the following testing:

These tests have shown that MTA Fillapex and K113568 are substantially equivalent to the new MTA Fillapex. Both devices have comparable flowability, working times, setting times, dimensional change following setting, solubility, shelf life and biocompatibility properties.
Since MTA Fillapex's chemical composition is based on the principal chemical components in K113568, the biocompatibility test provides evidence that the product is non-mutenagenic, does not cause an allergenic potential after multiple uses and has a good tolerance. The shelf life, bench and biocompatibility testing, provide evidence that the chemical and physical properties are substantially equivalent.
# Design Control Activities
The risk analysis method used to assess the impact of the modifications was a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) The design verification tests that were performed as a result of the risk analysis assessment are listed in the table below:
