Bioceramics in Dentistry

Bys: L, Krishna Prasad and Ukken, Julia Jacob

Bioceramics primarily composed of calcium phosphates, calcium sulfates, and bioactive glasses, have emerged as valuable components for dental applications owing to their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. These materials have revolutionized various aspects of dentistry, including restorative dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, and implantology. However, the cautious adoption of newer materials is emphasized due to limited long term clinical trials. Ceramics are inorganic, non-metallic materials made by the heating of raw minerals at high temperatures. Bio-ceramics are biocompatible ceramic materials or metal oxides with enhanced sealing ability, antibacterial and antifungal activity applied for use in medicine and dentistry. Function as human tissues or to resorb and encourage the regeneration of natural tissues. Bioceramics are synthetic, inorganic materials that are designed to interact with biological systems. These materials possess excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, osteo-conductivity, and potential for promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Examples of commonly used bioceramics in dentistry include hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate.
