Introduction: Composition and crystalline phases of the endodontic material mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is of fundamental importance for understanding its physical and chemical properties. This research was done to determine the composition of crystalline phases for ProRoot MTA.

Methods: For phase identification, powder of ProRoot MTA was analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), comparing the MTA peaks with the data contained in the Powder Diffraction File of the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD).
