Advancing vital pulp therapy: clinical applications and predictable outcomes using MTA vpt

Join Jeff Dumbrell on 16 June at 7pm as he discusses clinical applications and predictable outcomes using MTA vpt for advancing vital pulp therapy.

The aim of this lecture is to provide clinicians with an understanding of the clinical applications, composition, handling, and benefits of MTA in vital pulp therapy.

It will focus on how its properties support pulp healing and how correct clinical use can help achieve predictable outcomes and support pulp preservation.

Learning outcomes

• Describe the composition and properties of MTA and its role in vital pulp therapy
• Explain the mechanism of action of MTA in promoting pulp healing, tertiary dentine formation, and preservation of pulp vitality
• Identify the clinical indications for using MTA in direct and indirect pulp capping procedures
• Demonstrate understanding of the correct handling, placement, and clinical protocol for MTA vpt
• Recognise the importance of material handling characteristics, including consistency, setting behaviour, and moisture tolerance
• Evaluate the clinical advantages of MTA compared with traditional pulp capping materials such as calcium hydroxide
• Identify the key clinical factors that influence the success and predictability of treatment when using MTA
• Apply evidence-based knowledge to integrate MTA into clinical practice to support minimally invasive dentistry and improved patient outcomes.
