Abstract
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a calcium silicate-based cement. It has remained a widereaching material in endodontics since its introduction in the 1990’s. Several studies have illustrated its use in various clinical applications.

This article will review the history, composition, setting reaction, properties, mechanism of action and various clinical applications of MTA in the field of Endodontics with four different case reports.
