Abstract :
The field of dentistry is constantly changing with the introduction of new materials and techniques that resulted in good treatment outcome.Bio-ceramics are amongst the recently introduced materials which have changed the face of dentistry. Bioceramics are biocompatible, nontoxic, non-shrinking and usually chemically stable within the biological environment.The development of bioceramic based materials has greatly improved the dentist’s possibilities to successfully treat cases such as pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexification, apicoectomy and repair of defects caused by accidental perforation and resorption. The application of bioceramic materials has changed both surgical and non- surgical endodontic treatment, providing a promising direction for the preservation of patients’ teeth.
