Análise da literatura científica especializada das propriedades físicas, qúmicas e biológicas dos cimentos biocerâmicos

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze literature on the use of bioceramic cements in endodontics, discurse their physical, chemical and biological properties and their effect on apical tissues and the possible benefits of their use in clinical practice. Database used on the research was PUBMED, through the descriptors "bioceramics", "bioceramics endodontics", "bioceramic sealer" and "bioceramic root canal sealer". Based on the selection criteria, 647 articles were found and 17 articles was selected. There was a need for complementation of the bibliographical research, being made through the references of the article: Physicochemical Properties of Epoxy Resin-Based and Bioceramic-Based Root Canal Sealers - Lee et al. 2017, at where 13 articles chosen. Concluding thus, it can be observed that the bioceramic materials presented adequate physical, chemical and biological properties, antibacterial effect; they make hydroxyapatite crystals, being able to be used in root perforations, large apical foramen and root resorption and as sealer to obturate the root canal system. Thus, there are benefits in its use in clinical practice.
