Cimentos biocerâmicos de silicato de cálcio: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Preserving the integrity of the natural dentition is essential for maintaining dental function and esthetics. To achieve this goal, endodontic therapy can play a key role. Among the advances applied to endodontics in recent decades, the development of calcium silicate-based materials has provided new treatment perspectives and promising results in several clinical applications. The objective of this work is to carry out a literature review about these materials. For this, a bibliographic research was carried out on the subject in the main databases and scientific articles from the last 15 years were obtained. The critical and detailed reading of the articles allowed the construction of the text that explored the concept, properties, composition, mechanisms of action, advantages, limitations and clinical applications of the various bioceramics available in endodontics. With the study, we concluded that the development of calcium silicate-based materials allows the execution of more predictable and conservative operative techniques. Modifications to the latest materials are improving their properties and making materials increasingly biologically intelligent and attractive to clinical practice available
