I had retreated a lower number 6 tooth and filled it in a single visit with MTA using a single cone. Some MTA had extruded at the apex. The patient had severe pain. I have a radiograph, but I cannot send it to you right now; I think permission is needed.

Can MTA extrusion cause pain?

The materials used with gutta-percha are bioceramic sealers, not actually MTA. Anything extruded beyond the apex can cause pain for a while.
