Bioceramic Sealers in Endodontics

Bys: Rohima Mahajan, Fayaz Ahmed Ahanger, Nipun Batis

Bioceramic based materials were introduced to endodontics in the 1990s, first as retrograde filling materials and then as root repair cements, root canal sealers and coatings for guttapercha cones. The potential advantages of bioceramic materials in endodontics are related to their physico-chemical and biological properties. Bioceramics are biocompatible, non-toxic, non-shrinking, and usually chemically stable within the biological environment. A further advantage of these materials is their ability to form hydroxyapatite and ultimately create a bond between dentin and the material. Following the introduction of bioceramic materials into clinical endodontics, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has become recognized as the gold-standard material for a variety of clinical situations and is perhaps closest to the ideal reparative material due to its excellent physico-chemical and biological properties. Bioceramic materials, with their biocompatible nature and excellent physico-chemicalproperties are widely used in endodontic applications.
