Bioceramic cement Pulp protection Endodontic treatment Endodontic Surgery

Abstract

Introduction: Endodontic treatment is usually indicated when periapical lesions are found, deep caries reach the pulp chamber, or in specific cases of prosthetic rehabilitation. The repair of periapical tissues depends on the total obturation of the root canal system and its hermetic sealing employing physically and biologically compatible materials. Objective: A brief systematic review was carried out to list the main clinical studies on the use of bioceramic cement in endodontic treatments and endodontic surgery. Methods: The rules of the Systematic Review-PRISMA Platform (Transparent reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analysis-HTTP://www.prisma-statement.org/) were followed. The research was carried out from May 2022 to June 2022 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: Current endodontic surgery has achieved high success rates, through the use of modern techniques such as operative microscopy, ultrasonic inserts, and the choice of good materials to fill the retro filling cavity. MTA was the first bioceramic cement developed and has provided much better results than previously used materials, such as amalgam and Super Eba. This is mainly due to its better sealing properties and its low cytotoxicity. MTA is still the standard material of choice for most endodontists who opt for Endodontic Surgery. However, new bioceramic types of cement are being developed rapidly, trying to improve biological responses, accelerate tissue regeneration, and decrease the rate of residual microorganisms.
