All appreciation and thanks for the corresponding author Dr Rayan Bahabri to guide me, teach me, give me the idea to write this Review Study about Biodentine Material.
Abstract
Background: Material properties are fundamental elements for successful dental treatment. Dentists should always explore different materials to be familiar with newly introduced alternatives to provide the best available options for their patients.
Aim: The goal of this study was to conduct a literature review on Biodentine, its properties, its uses in endodontics.
Methods: The international database PubMed was searched between 2010 and May 2020 to identify publications on Biodentine using the following keywords: “Biodentine,” “perforation,” “retrograde filling,” and “vital pulp therapy.”
Results: Biodentine has favourable furcation perforation repair, similar to MTA. Biodentine and MTA also have similar bacterial leakage properties in furcation perforation. In Retrograde filling Biodentine is the preferred material for root-end filling over MTA and GI. However, Biodentine has less sealing ability than MTA when using an apical plug. Moreover, Taha and Abdelkhader reported that Biodentine can be used as a pulpotomy material in adults. The signs and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis are not contraindicated for using this material, so it is considered an alternative treatment to root canals.
Conclusion: As demonstrated by the assessed studies, Biodentine can be a good alternative to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in endodontics as it shares similar efficacy in clinical settings.
