Abstract
Bioceramic materials are at the forefront of modern dentistry: they are easy to use and promote the healing of pulpal and periapical tissue. Their use in endodontics is categorized by setting mechanism, consistency, and composition. Pastes and Sealers are developed and available for use in combination with gutta-percha, and putties are designed for use as the sole material, in comparison with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Dentists can choose among many premixed bioceramic materials, according to their needs. The vast majority show properties similar to MTA and which conform to those expected of a bioceramic material. The Pubmed, Embase, NCBI, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies of bioceramics in endodontic management. Both clinical and laboratory studies as well as in vitro studies were considered. Studies conducted in recent years and the past highlight the several potentials of bioceramics, although most of these studies confirmed staining when Portland Cement (PC) is used.
