Evaluators’ Comments
- “I like the fact that it is pre-mixed and syringeable. It make it very easy to use in a pinch and is already the perfect consistency for placing.”
- “Much easier to place than my current MTA material and it did not wash out after placing.”
- “Easy placement and it does not discolor teeth.”
- “It is a multi-purpose material.”
- “Provided a well-sealed restoration immediately after pulp capping.”
- “Difficult to manipulate especially for small spaces – I would like a tip to try and place more directly.”
- “It stays soft. I would like it to firm up a bit more prior to restoration placement.”
Indications

Description
NeoPUTTY (MTA) is a premixed bioactive bioceramic root and pulp treatment that is:
- Ready to use, with no mixing required.
- Does not dry out between uses.
- Calcium and hydroxide ion releasing, promoting the formation of hydroxyapatite to seal and support healing.
- Initially high in pH (basic) to promote osteogentic response when applied, allowing it to be antimicrobial.
- Highest radiopacity in its class for better placement checks and follow up.
- Non-staining.
- Resin-free for maximum bioactivity and dimensional stability.
