Silicato de calcio un material contemporáneo en endodoncia: reporte de casos

Abstract

Introduction: Calcium silicate-based materials have been applied in endodontic therapy because of their antimicrobial properties and sealing capacity, which contribute to the treatment success. These bioactive materials stimulate dentin bridge formation, so they can be used in various dental procedures. They are currently the material of choice in endodontic procedures involving pulp regeneration and hard tissue repair owing to their biocompatibility, high alkalinity, short setting times, and excellent sealing ability. Objective: To present four clinical cases where calcium silicate cements are used: indirect pulp capping, apicoectomy, obturation, and furcation. The cases include details of the diagnostic process, therapeutic procedures, and follow-up outcomes. Conclusion: Calcium silicate-based materials are the preferred choice in various endodontic clinical settings, despite having individual limitations that can vary depending on the characteristics of each material, such as radiopacity.
