Use of premixed putty MTA

Why do you not recommend putty MTA for an apical plug?

Translated version of the Turkish original

Because putty MTA products have a long setting time, they extrude apically before forming a plug and cannot be condensed effectively. Also, when the setting time is long, they may be subject to the wash-out effect and be displaced from the apex.
