Cimentos biocerâmicos obturadores e reparadores; revisão de literatura

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: In Endodontics, technological advances have implemented new materials and techniques for use during dental procedures. Among these materials are the bioceramic cements that have become popular for their use in endodontic treatment due to their many advantages. This is because its application covers several stages of endodontic treatment, from filling root canals to sealing perforations and apical communications, which was once seen as a limiting factor for maintaining the tooth in the oral cavity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to carry out a literature review on the use of bioceramic obturator and repair cements in endodontics. METHODOLOGY: The bibliographical research was carried out using the electronic databases Pub Medline (PubMed), using the search terms “Bioceramic” AND “Endodontic”. As inclusion criteria were selected works published between 2010 and 2023, both in English and in Portuguese. RESULTS: Based on the reviewed literature, it was observed that bioceramic cement is in fact a real alternative for use as a filling material during endodontic treatment, as it has superior properties compared to other filling materials and, therefore, can be considered a filling material. innovative for presenting relevant characteristics such as: biocompatibility, bioactivity, radiopacity, color stability, antimicrobial action and sealing capacity. CONCLUSION: Bioceramic cements are suitable for obturation and repair of the root canal system, as they properly promote their hermetic sealing, by union with the hydroxyapatite produced, stimulate tissue repair, are biocompatible and antimicrobial. more long-term research to consolidate the effectiveness of bioceramic cements in Endodontics.
