CE Hours: 0.75

Description: Clinicians face complex treatment decisions every day, often guided by their personal experience and established protocols. However, in endodontics, some of the most critical and challenging choices are the proper selection of biomaterials, particularly new-generation sealers and cements. With a constant influx of products and aggressive marketing, practitioners must navigate not only how to use these materials, but also which material should be used for each clinical case and whether their use is scientifically justified. This session will present a clinically grounded decision-making framework to simplify the selection process. By applying evidence-based criteria to biomaterial choice, endodontists can improve clinical outcomes and preserve teeth that might otherwise be deemed unsalvageable.

Learning Objectives:  

  • Describe the physicochemical and biological properties of endodontic biomaterials.
  • Discuss how the physicochemical and biological properties of the endodontic biomaterials will influence their clinical behavior.
    • Develop a decision-making tree for the utilization of biomaterials during a clinical case.
