Is Biodentine antibacterial?

MTA, Biodentine, and Dycal showed significantly higher antibacterial activity than control in freshly mixed samples (P < 0.05).

What is the difference between Biodentine and MTA?

Manufacturers claim that Biodentine has noticeably shorter setting time in contrast to other silicate cements such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and also has better mechanical and handling properties.

What is Biodentine used for in dentistry?

Biodentine is a material that, for the first time, allows a dentist to achieve biomimetic mineralization within the depths of a carious cavity. Biodentine has the potential to revolutionize the management of the deep carious cavity in operative dentistry, whether or not the pulp is exposed.”

Is GIC antibacterial?

All the GICs demonstrated antibacterial properties in contrast to the polyacid-modified resin composites and resin composite which did not shown any antibacterial effects. Vitrebond GIC exhibited higher antibacterial action, probably because of a cytotoxic photo-initiator diphenyliodoniumchloride.

What is Biodentine made of?

Biodentine is a two components material. The powder is mainly composed of Tricalcium silicates. It also contains Di-Calcium Silicate as a second core material and Calcium Carbonate and Oxide as filler. The powder contains Zirconium oxide as a radio-opacifier.

Reasons for WHY BIODENTINE

Why is Biodentine better than Dycal?

The results of the present study showed that pulps that were treated with Biodentine were essentially free of inflammation and led to the formation of a good quality bridge which was more predictable, uniform, thick, continuous, and completely sealed the pulp tissue in comparison to Dycal.

How does mineral trioxide aggregate work?

The mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a dental material with biocompatibility properties to oral and dental tissues. MTA was developed for dental root repair in endodontic treatment and it is formulated from commercial Portland cement, combined with bismuth oxide powder for radiopacity.

How long does Biodentine last?

Biodentine™ can be left as a temporary filling for up to 6 months if the pulp requires monitoring. A direct composite or an inlay/onlay is then placed for enamel-like aesthetics and resistance.

How long does it take for Biodentine to set?

The powder is mixed with the liquid in a capsule in the triturator for 30 seconds. Once mixed, Biodentine™ sets in about 12 minutes. During the setting of the cement calcium hydroxide is formed.

Can Biodentine be used for indirect pulp capping?

With its physical properties, compressive strength, elasticity and hardness, similarity to dentin, and reparative stimulation from calcium hydroxide ion release, Biodentine is an excellent choice for direct pulp capping, indirect pulp capping, pulpotomies, furcation repair and resorption repair.

Is Biodentine radiopaque?

Radiopacity of Biodentine was 2.43±0.20 mmAl.

How do you make triple antibiotic paste?

Preparation of triple antibiotic paste

3Mix NO alternate with iodoform: It is prepared using metronidazole 30%, clindamycin 30%, ciprofloxacin 30%, iodoform 10% with a macrogol and propylene glycol (MP) paste.

What is Biodentine filling?

Biodentine is a calcium-silicate based material that has drawn attention in recent years and has been advocated to be used in various clinical applications, such as root perforations, apexification, resorptions, retrograde fillings, pulp capping procedures, and dentine replacement.

Does composite bond to Biodentine?

The shear bonding strength of bonding composite to Biodentine was significantly reduced at the Biodentine primary setting phase or after prolonged time of exposure to the oral environment. The best time for placement of an overlying composite restoration is at 14 days.

How do you use Biodentine for Apexification?

An apical plug of Biodentine of 5 mm thickness was placed against the matrix using pre-fitted hand pluggers. The remainder of canal was back-filled with thermoplasticized gutta-percha and access cavity was restored with composite resin followed by all-ceramic crown.

Is Biodentine a Bioceramic?

Bioceramics used in endodontics

Calcium silicate based – Cements- Portland Cement, Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine (Septodont, France) Sealers - Endo CPM Sealer (EGO SRL, Buenos Aires, Argentina), MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Brazil), BioRoot RCS (Septodont, France), TechBiosealer (Profident, Kielce, Poland).

Can Pulpitis spread?

With irreversible pulpitis, the pulp is no longer able to heal itself. Your body's immune system breaks down the dead tissue. Still, if there is too much infection and dead tissue for your immune system to handle, an abscess can form. The infection may spread to the surrounding bone or other areas of the body.

What is direct pulp capping?

DIRECT PULP CAPPING

The direct pulp cap, in which a material is placed directly over the exposed pulp tissue, has been suggested as a way to promote pulp healing and generate reparative dentin. If successful, this procedure precludes the need for more invasive, more extensive and more expensive treatment.

How long does it take for MTA to set?

It has been reported that MTA sets slowly approximately 3-4 hours in clinical conditions (3, 25). Long setting time of MTA can cause clinical problems.

What is the composition of mineral trioxide aggregate?

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is composed of Portland cement, with 4:1 addition of bismuth oxide added so that the material can be detected on a radiograph. The cement is made up of calcium, silicon and aluminium. The main constituent phases are tricalcium and dicalcium silicate and tricalcium aluminate.

Do you cure MTA?

Light-curable and dual-cure MTA products contain resins which dilute and inhibit the MTA's bioactivity. Resins never cure 100%. Uncured resin leaves cytotoxic monomers in the MTA-resin matrix and in contact with the pulp. Resins shrink during curing; they are not dimensionally stable.

What is Bioceramic sealer?

Bioceramic sealers are sealers those contain calcium silicate and/or calcium phosphate as their main compositions, i.e., Endosequence BC Sealer while Hybrid bioceramic sealers are resin-based root canal sealers or other root canal sealers those contain some bioceramic components, i.e., MTA Fillapex.

Is MTA a Bioceramic?

The first-generation bioceramic or hydraulic cement introduced in endodontics is mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in the 1990s by Dr. M. Torabinejad. Hydraulic cements refer to a material that needs hydration to set and once set are impervious to dissolution in water.

What is Metapex?

A temporary root canal filling material with excellent radiopacity, Metapex is an antibacterial, premixed paste composed of calcium hydroxide with iodoform. Priced at less than half the cost of leading brands, Metapex is ideal for many applications: Exposed pulp in capping and pulpotomy.
