The field of dentistry is constantly changing with the introduction of new materials and techniques that resulted in good treatment outcome. The quest to search for an ideal material is never ending especially in the field of material sciences. Since the evolution of dentistry, various materials were introduced, formulated and applied both in vivo and in vitro and standardized in order to obtain maximum benefit from the material.1Bio-ceramics are amongst the recently introduced materials which have changed the face of dentistry

This book focuses on hydraulic calcium silicate-based materials available in clinical dentistry, used as pulp capping materials, root canal sealers, root-end fillers, or root repair materials and which offer improved properties and easier clinical application compared with the original mineral trioxide aggregate. The book introduces the current classification of bioceramic materials and explains their characterization and their physicochemical and biological properties. Thereafter, the various clinical applications of these materials are discussed in depth with reference to the evidence base. The coverage includes applications in endodontic treatments and complications, traumatic dental injuries, management of the vital pulp in both dentitions, and regenerative endodontic procedures. Apart from presenting the latest research on hydraulic calcium silicate-based materials, Bioceramic Materials in Clinical Endodontics promotes an essential balance between basic laboratory and clinical research. It will thus be an important reference for materials science specialists, clinical researchers, and clinicians.

The dawn of a new era was seen in dentistry with bioceramic materials. Although used mainly for dental implants and coatings for implants, their introduction into endodontics as mineralising materials has made enormous productive changes starting from pulp capping, to apexogenesis, apexification and furcation repair. This book is an attempt to bring into light the properties and the unique capabilities of bioceramics used in pediatric endodontics namely Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC), Bioglass, Calcium Phosphate Ceramics, and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Absolute biocompatibility, osseoconductivity, ability to achieve excellent hermetic seal, formation of chemical bond with the tooth structure, insolubility in tissue fluids, good radiopacity, easy handling characteristics make these materials an attractive option in the area of pediatric endodontics. Bioceramic materials, still in their infancy, has demonstrated incomparable excellence in various treatment modalities like pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexifcation and apexgenesis, root canal sealers, obturating materials, retrograde filling materials, bone filler for periapical defects and management of endodontic mishaps like perfor

Bioceramics have been used very successfully within the human body for many years. They are commonly used in orthopaedic surgery and dentistry but they are potentially suitable for a wide range of important applications within the medical device industry. This important book reviews the range of bioceramics, their properties and range of clinical uses.Chapters in the first section of the book discusses issues of significance to a range of bioceramics such as their structure, mechanical properties and biological interactions. The second part reviews the fabrication, microstructure and properties of specific bioceramics and glasses, concentrating on the most promising materials. These include alumina and zirconia ceramics, bioactive glasses and bioactive glass-ceramics, calcium sulphate, tricalcium phosphate-based ceramics, hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite biphasic ceramics, si-substrated hydroxyapatite, calcium phosphate cement, calcium phosphate coating, titania-based materials, ceramic-polymer composites, dental ceramics and dental glass-ceramics. The final group of chapters reviews the clinical applications of bioceramics in joint replacement, bone grafts, tissue engineering and dentistry.Bioceramics and their clinical applications is written by leading academics from around the world and it provides an authoritative review of this highly active area of research. This book is a useful resource for biomaterials scientists and engineers, as well as for clinicians and the academic community.
