Properties of a Tricalcium Silicate Based Sealer.

Abstract

Tricalcium silicate based materials are gaining popularity in various dental fields and the area of endodontics is no exception. Sealers based on tricalcium silicate aim at an interaction with the root canal wall, alkalinity with potential antimicrobial activity and the ability to set in a wet field. Recently, a tricalcium silicate sealer containing povidone and polycarboxylate (BioRoot™ RCS) was introduced, which is shown to have high bioactivity, strong alkanising property, apatite forming ability and adequate radioopacity. This article aims to review about the physical and biological properties of this novel calcium silicate based sealer.
