There is a general agreement that vital pulp therapy in vital permanent teeth with cariously exposed pulps is a difficult process. A fast-setting calcium silicate-based cement material, Biodentine, has recently been in use in various clinical procedures as apexification, root perforations or resorptions, retrograde fillings, direct or indirect pulp capping procedures, and finally dentine replacement. Many of the recently published research articles recommended Biodentine as a vital pulp-capping material. Also, it is considered as a good dentine substitute. This review article explains different biochemical and vital pulp teeth clinical applications of this promising material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
