Episode: Mastering Pulp Therapy and Perforations with Modern MTA
From Series: VOCO Dental Podcast Series
Series: VOCO America
Guest: Dr. Ryan Walsh
CE Credits: 0.5 CEU
Release Date: 5/18/2026
This episode addresses how MTA—mineral trioxide aggregate—can be used as both an indirect and direct pulp cap and is ideal for perforations. MTA isn’t just an endodontist's material—it’s very much a general dentist’s material as well. Especially now, as more of us focus on minimally invasive dentistry and are doing everything we can to preserve the natural tooth. Our guest is Dr. Ryan Walsh, who maintains a full time private practice in Keller, TX. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics (ABE) and serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Journal of Endodontics. Dr. Walsh maintains an appointment as Adjunct Assistant Professor at Texas A&M College of Dentistry and is actively involved in clinical research pertaining to bioactive materials, resorption processes, and clinical outcomes. He has lectured nationally and internationally on several topics in his specialty and has published multiple peer-reviewed articles and abstracts.
