Abstract: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a new-type dental material emerged in recent years. It is nontoxic, antimicrobial, sealable, and biocompatible. MTA has been used in pulp capping, pulpotomy, root-end filling, repair of root perforations, apexification and apical barrier formation. Since MTA was first reported in 1993, a lot of researches have been done on various aspects of this material. This article is to review the physicochemical properties, biological characteristics and clinical applications of MTA.

Key words: Mineral trioxide aggregate, Endodontics , Physicochemical properties, Biological characteristics, Clinical applications
