Clinical Applications of Biodentine : A Case Series
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Calcium silicate cements have occupied a superior position in dentistry. They are used in various clinical situations. Over a period of time there has been an evolution from Portland cement to Biodentine. Biodentine has gained popularity in recent years due to the resemblance to MTA. These are hydrophilic radio-opaque materials which form a sticky self-setting calcium silicate hydrate gel. Case report: There is a series of case report that presents a favorable clinical outcome when Biodentine was used for treating palatogingival groove and external cervical root resorption. Conclusion: Biodentine is a calcium silicate based material having intrinsic properties such as good sealing correlated to expansion, ability to set in presence of fluid, bioactivity, release of ions acting as epigenetic signals and good biological properties which enables the clinician to use this cement for various clinical applications such as Root perforation, Apexification, resorptive lesions, Retrograde filling materials. This paper throws light on few clinical applications of biodentine such as external cervical root resorption, palato-radicular groove.
