Description: The advent of MTA about 2 decades ago brought about a significant change in the practice of clinical endodontics. A material that suited our work-space and the periradicular tissue, perfectly. It has been extensively investigated in in-vitro, animal and clinical studies. With due diligence in the literature, material has our academic and investigative endorsement. However, there are limitations to use of MTA e.g., inability to use for routine obturation, it’s difficult handling properties and tendency to cause discoloration. Material scientists have worked on overcoming the limitations of MTA by introducing newer generation of Bioceramics. The lecture is an overview of the current research and clinical applications of the newer bioceramics available to us. Published research will be critically reviewed and clinical cases presented demonstrating the applications in various treatment modalitiesson 

At the conclusion of this course, participants will learn: 

  • Discuss an evidence-based evaluation of the chemical, physical and biological properties of Bioceramics pertinent to endodontics.
  • Explain the clinical use especially as a sealer
  • Recognize the strength and weakness of the material
