Stand 8E10 > Page 2B Non-surgical repair of a cervical resorptive defect utilizing a fast set self curing bioceramic root repair material by ilya Mer, russia and Martin trope, uSA A bstract: This paper describes the conservative treat- ment of a cervical root re- sorption defect with premixed bioceramic putty. The patient presented with a sinus tract associated with a cervical re- sorptive defect. Usually these lesions are treated with an external approach that results in destruction of the marginal attachment. After disinfection, a new pre-mixed bioceramic material that does not discolor was used internally to seal the defect. Follow-up shows that the sinus tract is not present and that there is bone ill in adjacent to the bioceramic ma- terial. Clinically the tooth has maintained its natural color. Key words Cervical root resorption, treat- ment, repair, pre-mixed bioc- eramic introduction Bioceramics are ceramic ma- terials speciically designed for use in medicine and den- tistry. They include alumina and zirconia, bioactive glass, coatings and composites, hy- droxyapetite and resorbable calcium phosphates, and ra- diotherapy glasses (1-3). Bioceramics are widely used for orthopedic applications (joint or tissue replacement), for coatings to improve the biocompatibility of metal im- plants, and can function as re- sorbable lattices that provide a framework that is eventually dissolved as the body rebuilds tissue (4). There are numerous bioc- eramics currently in use in dentistry and medicine. Alu- mina and zirconia are bioinert ceramics used in prosthetics. Bioactive glass and glass ce- ramics are available for use in dentistry under various trade names. In addition porous ce- ramics such as calcium- phos- phate based materials have been used for illing bone defects. Also some calcium Pulp Cap - Immediate Post Op Follow up at 20 months
