Harvard MTA XR Fast
OptiCaps® Especially for root-end filling (retrograde)
Instructions for Use
MTA cement, exra radiopacity, extra fast
Harvard MTA XR Fast OptiCaps® is a biocompatible repair cement in
OptiCaps®. Due to it’s firm consistency in combination with a short setting
time MTA XR Fast is the ideal choice for root-end filling (retrograde).
Harvard MTA XR Fast powder consists of very fine hydrophilic particles of
several hydraulic mineral oxides. After contact with the liquid it forms a gel
that hardens to an impermeable barrier.
Harvard MTA XR Fast OptiCaps® are easily activated and the content of the
capsule is easily ejected with the Harvard Applier OptiCaps®. Mixing of
Harvard MTA XR Fast OptiCaps® (mixing time 30 seconds) is achieved by a high
frequency mixer with about 4,300 oscillations/minute.
Indications
- Repair of root perforations
- Root-end filling (retrograde)
- Pulp capping (direct and indirect)
- Apexification / Root-end filling (orthograde)
- Repair of internal resorption
- Pulpotomy

Activation and mixing
See “Instructions for the activation and mixing of Harvard OptiCaps®”
Mixing time for the Harvard MTA XR Fast OptiCaps® is 30 seconds.
Attention:
Avoid lag times between the processes of activation, mixing and application as
the material is in the process of setting and lag times may impair or prevent
application of the material.
The material must be extruded within 10 seconds after the end of mixing.
To prevent dehydration during setting, apply Harvard MTA XR Fast immediately
after mixing.
Working time
Working time at 23° C (from the start of mixing): about 2 minutes
Applications
Repair of root perforations
Place rubber dam and clean the root canal system using intracanal instruments
and irrigate with NaOCl. Dry the root canal with paper points and isolate the
perforation.
Fill the root canal apical of the perforation completely with a suitable root
canal filling material.
Mix a capsule of Harvard MTA XR Fast OptiCaps® as described under item 1 and
extrude it on a glass plate.
Apply Harvard MTA XR Fast with suitable instruments into the perforation site
and condense it.
Check the position of Harvard MTA XR Fast in the root canal by an X-ray. If an
adequate barrier has not been created, rinse the MTA cement out of the canal
and repeat the procedure.
Remove excess moisture with a cotton pellet or a paper point. Place a moist
cotton pellet in the access to the root canal and apply a temporary filling
material.
Alternatively seal the root canal with a suitable root canal filling material
and seal the cavity with a tight filling. Both options can be done at the
earliest 3 minutes after placement of the Harvard MTA XR Fast. Harvard MTA XR
Fast repair material remains as a permanent part of the root canal filling.
Root-end filling (retrograde)
Create a surgical access to the root-end and resect the root.
Prepare an apical cavity to a depth of 3-5 mm.
Isolate the area and dry the root-end cavity with paper points.
Achieve hemostasis with suitable methods.
Mix a capsule of Harvard MTA XR Fast OptiCaps® as described under item 1 and
extrude it on a glass plate.
Apply Harvard MTA XR Fast with suitable instruments and condense it using a
small plugger.
Remove excess cement and clean the surface of the root with a moist piece of
gauze.
Confirm placement of Harvard MTA XR Fast repair material with an X-ray.
Harvard MTA XR Fast remains as a permanent part of the root canal filling.
Pulp capping
Place rubber dam and prepare the cavity. Rinse the cavity and exposed pulpal
areas with a suitable disinfectant.
Mix a capsule of Harvard MTA XR Fast OptiCaps® as described under item 1 and
extrude it on a glass plate.
With a suitable instrument apply a small amount of Harvard MTA XR Fast over
the exposed pulp and remove excess moisture with a cotton pellet.
At the earliest 3 minutes after application of Harvard MTA XR Fast place a
small amount of a flowable light cure liner (e.g. Harvard IonoLine) and light
cure.
Etch the remaining cavity walls according to the total-etch-technique with
Harvard Etch and apply a suitable bonding agent (e.g. Harvard Bond TE Bond)
according to the corresponding instructions.
Place a light cure composite (e.g. Harvard PremiumFill) according to the
instructions and light cure.
Check pulp vitality and status regularly.
Apexification / Root-end filling (orthograde)
Place rubber dam and clean the root canal system using intracanal instruments
and irrigate with NaOCl. Dry the root canal with paper points.
For disinfection place calcium hydroxide paste in the root canal and seal the
access opening with a temporary filling material.
After one week remove the calcium hydroxide paste from the root canal system.
Mix a capsule of Harvard MTA XR Fast OptiCaps® as described under item 1 and
extrude it on a glass plate.
With a suitable instrument apply a small amount of Harvard MTA XR Fast into
the apical region and condense it. Create a 3 – 5 mm barrier of MTA cement.
Check the position of Harvard MTA XR Fast by an X-ray. If an adequate barrier
has not been created, rinse the MTA cement out of the canal and repeat the
procedure.
At the earliest 3 minutes after application of the Harvard MTA XR Fast place a
cotton pellet in the access to the root canal and apply a temporary filling
material.
Alternatively seal the root canal with a suitable root canal filling material
and seal the cavity with a tight filling.
