NuSmile NeoPUTTY ® is a premixed bioactive, bioceramic MTA that triggers hydroxyapatite and supports healing, using the same tri and dicalcium silicate powders as NeoMTA 2. Its firm, non-tacky consistency, wash-out resistance, and bioactivity make it pediatric dentists' preferred material for every pulp need. In addition, NeoPUTTY delivers a ready-to-use material for immediate placement with zero waste, saving cost and chair time.

After placement of MTA in the tooth, body fluids infiltrate the paste to cause setting.
During this process, calcium and hydroxide ions are released from the MTA, promoting hydroxyapatite (HA) formation on the MTA surfaces.
When HA coats the surface, it hides the underlying MTA to minimize foreign body reactions and support healing responses of the pulpal or periapical tissue.
