Abstract

Bioceramic materials have transformed endodontics by combining excellent biological properties with advanced clinical versatility. Their bioactivity, biocompatibility, and sealing ability make them ideal for achieving 3D obturation, repairing perforations, and managing open apex cases. Recent advancements in obturation materials and evidence-based protocols have addressed limitations of traditional gutta-percha, which lacks adhesive properties and may leave microspaces prone to reinfection. 

Bioceramic sealers provide superior adaptation to canal walls, dimensional stability, and potential chemical bonding with dentine supporting a true monoblock concept, while bioceramic putty extends applications to challenging cases through inducing hard tissue formation, including perforations, open apices and regenerative procedures. The quality of obturation can be reliably assessed clinically and radiographically, including with CBCT imaging.

 This session will explore practical techniques using bioceramic sealers and putty, emphasizing their role in enhancing treatment predictability, simplifying procedures, encouraging periapical healing and supporting long-term endodontic success even in teeth with extensive pathologies. 

Attendees will gain insights into integrating these materials into routine and complex cases, highlighting the synergy of modern materials, minimally invasive approaches, clinical expertise to ultimately shape the future of biologically driven endodontics.
