Advantages and Types of Bioceramics in Endodontics

Abstract

The exponential rise of endodontics is aided by advancements in endodontic material sciences. Bioceramics are one of the most recently developed materials in endodontics, and they have completely transformed the field. Bioceramics are biocompatible ceramic materials or metal oxides with improved sealing properties, as well as antibacterial and antifungal activity, that are used in medicine and dentistry. The response to bioceramic technology in endodontics has been overwhelmingly positive. As more dentists think about the procedure, they are seeing not just the obvious advantages in endodontics, but they are also wondering how this technology may be used to other elements of dentistry. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the advantages and types of bioceramics used in field of endodontics. Within the living environment, bioceramics are safe and compatible, non-toxic, non-shrinking, and chemically stable. Another benefit of such materials is their capacity to generate hydroxyapatite and, as a result, form a connection with dentin. Because of their interaction with periapical tissues, bioceramics contain bioactivity that aids bone healing and neoformation. Bioceramics have evolved into an important component of today's oral health care delivery systems. The entire extent of the possibilities is only now becoming apparent. Bioceramics are advantageous because of their biological compatibility and antibacterial capabilities however, in future more clinical studies need to be conducted and published to signify the importance of use of bioceramic materials in endodontics.
