This book explores the use of eggshell powder as a novel, cost-effective biomaterial in restorative dentistry and endodontics. It highlights its chemical composition, rich in calcium and hydroxyapatite, which enhances remineralization and mechanical properties of dental materials. The text reviews applications in modifying glass ionomer cements, improving sealing ability, and supporting pulp capping procedures. Comparisons with other calcium-based biomaterials like synthetic hydroxyapatite and bio-ceramics are discussed. Safety, biocompatibility, and limitations of current research are also examined, along with prospects for clinical translation.
