Benefits of Bioceramic Sealers

Bioceramic sealers

The success of endodontic treatments depends on multiple factors; technique, cleaning, shaping of the root canal systems and the materials used for root canal obturation. One of the most critical factors in obtaining a successful root canal procedure remains achieving a three dimensional obturation. Root canal sealers play a major role in achieving a perfect three dimensional seal to prevent fluid leakage and re-infection. Various endodontic sealers have been created over the years, each with special qualities, benefits, and drawbacks.

Bioceramic sealers have emerged as a significant advancement in endodontic obturation due to their superior physicochemical and biological properties compared to conventional root canal sealers.

This bioceramic calcium silicate–based materials demonstrate excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, dimensional stability, sealing ability, and antimicrobial potential, thereby improving the long-term prognosis of endodontic treatment.

Unlike traditional sealers, bioceramic sealers possess hydrophilic characteristics and utilize moisture present within dentinal tubules to complete the setting reaction, resulting in the formation of hydroxyapatite and a chemical bond with dentin.

Over the years, continuous modifications in composition and formulation have led to the development of advanced bioceramic sealers with enhanced flowability, reduced solubility, improved radiopacity and greater resistance to microleakage.

BioRoot™ Flow is the latest generation of bioceramic root canal sealer from Septodont which benefits from the unique Active BioSilicate Technology™ (ABS).

BioRoot™ Flow is a hydrophilic mineral root canal sealer presented as a ready-to-use paste in a syringe. It is based on tricalcium silicate reaction with in situ water to seal the root canal. The sealer ensures a strong seal to the root canal, a tight interface with gutta percha point and an adequate radiopacity.

Septodont’s BioRoot™ Flow builds on the legacy of BioRoot™ RCS, which is known for being non-cytotoxic, and induces angiogenesis and osteogenic growth (Camps, et al.). Whatever your technique Warm or cold, BioRoot™ Flow allows reproducible success. Whatever your practice General dentistry or endodontics, BioRoot™ Flow is designed for you.
