title: A new mineral trioxide aggregate root-end filling technique.
abstract: Carrier and syringe-type devices are currently used to deliver mineral trioxide aggregate as a root-end filling material. In certain surgical situations these devices may be too difficult to use because of the location of the surgical site and the small size of the root-end preparation. This paper describes a new technique to overcome these difficulties by the formation and delivery of mineral trioxide aggregate pellets.
