Biodentine: material dentino-reparador en odontología restauradora. Revisión de la literatura

Abstract

Introduction: The bioactive materials used in pulp protection aim to facilitate the remineralization of affected dentin. This issue seeks to preserve as much natural dentin tissue as possible since materials can stimulate remineralization and restore dentin structure and function. Biodentine is among the bioactive materials, a relatively new calcium silicate-based material employed as a bioactive dentin substitute. This review seeks to provide a Biodentine material overview and its advantages over other calcium silicate-based materials. Materials and methods: A computerized bibliographic search was performed on PubMed and Google Scholar electronic databases. This search was conducted on articles published from January 2018 to May 2023. Results: Several articles revealed results regarding the composition, biocompatibility, and bioactivity of Biodentine, as well as studies comparing the clinical and radiographic efficacy of Biodentine with other calcium silicate-based materials. Conclusion: Biodentine offers advantages like radiopacity, discoloration, setting time, sealability, compressive and flexural strength, bond strength, and superior calcium ion release over other calcium silicate-based cement.
