Bioceramics are materials which include Alumina, Zirconia, Bioactive glass, Glass ceramics, Hydroxyapatite, resorbable Calcium phosphates, among others. They have been used in dentistry for filling up bony defects, root repair materials, apical fill materials, perforation sealing, as endodontic sealers and as aids in regeneration. They have certain advantages like biocompatibility, non toxicity, dimensional stability and most importantly in endodontic applications, being bio-inert. They have a similarity to Hydroxyapatite, an intrinsic osteo conductive activity and have an ability to induce regenerative responses in the human body. In Endodontics, they can be broadly classified into Calcium Phosphate/ Tricalcium/ Hydroxyapatite based, Calcium Silicate based or mixtures of Calcium Silicate and Phosphates. This review focuses on an overview of Bioceramics, classification and their advantages. It also gives a detailed insight into individual bioceramic materials currently used in the fields of Endodontics along with their properties and applications.

“…Since then, it has been used in a wide range of endodontic procedures. Its chemical composition consists of calcium oxide (CaO), silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) and bismuth trioxide (Bi 2 O 3 ) -the main components, and various amounts of aluminum, magnesium and ferrous oxides, which make the difference between the two types of MTA: grey and white [30,31]. Clinical studies proved that MTA has the potential to be used successfully as a pulp-capping or pulpotomy material during vital pulp therapy [32, 33], but the years of clinical experience have also revealed some disadvantages that occur in practice, such as a long setting time and potential of discoloration [34].…”

Vital pulp therapy is an expanding concept in pediatric dentistry today thanks to the potential exhibited by new biomaterials to stimulate regeneration of the pulp cells. Biocompatibility, bioactivity and dentin-like physical properties, as well as good handling, fast setting and the possibility to fill large cavities with a single material are some of the ideal properties of materials aimed to heal traumatized and inflamed dental pulps, given by a good balance of their chemical components.

“…MTA has been widely used in the recent years for pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, perforation repair, resorption repair, repair of fracture , , root end filling, apical barrier for tooth with necrotic pulp and open apex , coronal barrier for regenerative endodontics , root canal sealer. 7 Investigations have proved successful when MTA has been used in in vitro studies as a retrograde filling material as well.…”

With the possibility of harnessing the regenerative potential of tissues, clinicians will find greater clinical instances where an old treatment modality used in conjunction with new materials gives greater clinical success in cases with poor clinical prognosis.This case typically illustrates such a situation where we successfully used MTATM in conjunction with an endodontic file used as an intracanal splint for repair of horizontally fractured root with minimal displacement of the fragments.
