Owing to the difficulties in manipulation and setting time of MTA used in dentistry , there have been many different solutions tried by various researchers to overcome the problems encountered during the use of MTA , what can be the best amongst them and the evidence..also if anyone is doing any research work on the same , kindly share your expertise
Recently, a fast-setting MTA-derived pozzolan cement was developed (Endocem MTA; Maruchi, Wonju, Korea). It sets very quickly! The final setting time is around 4 minutes. I have done some research with it, and found it had good biocompatibility and was more resistant to washout phenomenon than ProRoot.
I use it in my clinic for pulp capping, pulpotomy, retrograde filling, and perforation repair, etc,. You can read one of my publication entitled "Biological Effects and Washout Resistance of a Newly Developed Fast-setting Pozzolan Cement. (J Endod 2013;39:467-472)"
Good luck!

Thank you for your reply dr kyan-San min. But I don't think endoderm MTA is available in India and also how are it's physical properties as compared to proroot MTA except for seeing time. I mean about the sealing ability , strength etc
