Biodentine: novel endodontic material for single step apexification: A case report

“…Biodentine is superior to MTA as its consistency is better suited to clinical use, ensuring better handling and safety, the material does not require a two-step obturation and, as the setting is faster; there is a lower risk of bacterial contamination. 2 The aim of the present case report is to report the use of Biodentine in the successful closure of the root apex in a…”

“…complication is that the dentinal tubules are wide, allowing the penetration of bacteria and irritants. 2 These features make root canal instrumentation difficult and prevents achievement of a proper apical stop. In order to permit condensation of root canal filling material and promote apical sealing, it is important to create an artificial barrier or to stimulate closure of apical foramen with calcified tissue.…”

“…10 However MTA has certain disadvantages including high solubility, prolonged setting time (approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes) and difficult handling characteristics. 2 These disadvantages have necessitated the search for more ideal materials, having adequate biological and mechanical properties. Recently, a new calcium-silicate based material, Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France), has been formulated with the intention of preserving the properties and clinical applications of MTA without its negative characteristics.…”
