NS-12 Exploring and Comparing Calcium Silicate-Based Bioceramic Materials and Obturation Techniques
CE Hours: 1.0
Description:
Since the launch of calcium silicate-based bioceramic sealers, the popularity of its clinical applications has grown dramatically in the last 16 years. Almost 50% of the AAE members and 27% of the ADA members reported using this type of sealer, which have surpassed resin-based sealers and it has become the most widely-used sealer type among endodontists.
Due to the increase of the interest of these sealers, several companies have developed its own version of a calcium silicate-based bioceramics products (sealer and putty). The majority of these products are pre-mixed which simplify the clinical use. While the verity of these products in the market increase considerably in the last 5 years, the number of clinical and laboratory studies on the latest products have been limited. Although many of them are called bioceramic sealers, there are many variation, among them, their chemical components, sealability, biological activities and more.
In this presentation we will compare the most popular pre-mixed bioceramic products in the market and show their clinical applications and obturation techniques.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the endodontic hydraulic bioceramic cements and their clinical interactions
- Update and compare the traditional and new bioceramics materials available on the market
- Demonstrate tips and tricks on how to use these materials in different clinical cases
