Bioceramic Materials in Clinical Endodontics

From Dentistry Made Simple Dentistry Made Simple

A comprehensive overview of hydraulic calcium silicate-based materials (HCSCs), commonly known as bioceramics, and their expansive applications in clinical endodontics. The texts classify different types of HCSCs, focusing on their chemistry, physical properties, and biological characteristics, such as their hydration reactions and ability to induce dentin-pulp repair. Specific clinical uses are detailed across multiple chapters, including vital pulp therapy (capping and pulpotomy), regenerative endodontics (revitalization), root canal obturation (sealers and techniques like the single-cone method), management of endodontic complications (perforation and resorption repair), and treatments for pediatric patients. While acknowledging the historical significance of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), the sources emphasize newer, often superior HCSC formulations like Biodentine, highlighting improvements in handling, setting time, and reduced risk of tooth discoloration.
