The Sealing Ability of Biodentine: A Literature Review

Abstract

Microleakage, the passage of cariogenic elements between dental restorations and cavity walls, is a major concern in dentistry. Microleakage is a frequently seen factor contributing to the failure of dental restorations, tooth loss, and hypersensitivity. Biodentine, a tri-calcium silicate cement introduced in 2009 as a dentin replacement material, shows promise due to its composition, easy handling, faster setting time, antimicrobial properties and bioactivity. Biodentine has been stated to have broader clinical use than the Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) including pulp capping, pulpotomy, perforation repair, bifurcation lesion repair, internal and external root resorption, apexification, liner material for the coronal restorations as well as deep cervical and root cavities. Thus, the sealing ability of Biodentine is critical for dentin remineralization and restoration success. The objective of this review was to assess in-vitro studies that have focused on the microleakage of Biodentine in different applications and to suggest clinical recommendations.

Biodentine’in Sızdırmazlık Kabiliyeti: Bir Literatür Derlemesi

Abstract

Mikrosızıntı, diş restorasyonları ile diş dokuları arasında karyojenik maddelerin geçişi olarak tanımlanır. Mikrosızıntı, diş restorasyonlarının başarısızlığı, diş kaybı ve aşırı hassasiyet sebeplerinden en sık görülen faktörlerdendir. 2009 yılında dentin yerine geçen restoratif malzeme olarak tanıtılan tri-kalsiyum silikat simanı olan Biodentine, bileşimi, kolay kullanımı, hızlı sertleşme süresi, antimikrobiyal özellikleri ve biyoaktivitesi nedeniyle umut vaat etmektedir. Biodentine, Mineral Trioksit Agregat’tan (MTA) daha geniş bir klinik kullanıma sahip olduğu bildirilmiştir; bunlar arasında pulpa kaplama, pulpotomi, perforasyon onarımı, bifurkasyon lezyonu onarımı, internal ve eksternal kök rezorbsiyonu, apeksifikasyon, koronal restorasyonlar için kaide malzemesi ve derin servikal ve kök çürükleri bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle, Biodentine'in sızdırmazlık yeteneği, dentin remineralizasyonu ve restorasyon başarısı için kritiktir. Bu derleme, Biodentine'in farklı uygulama alanlarında mikrosızıntı üzerine çalışan in-vitro çalışmaları değerlendirmek ve klinik önerilerde bulunmak amacıyla yapılmıştır.
