4 exhibitors 2017 ASM — May 5, 2017 Dentin replacement made of purist calcium silicate n Septodont’s Biodentine™ is the only resin-free bioactive and biocompatible dentin replacement material that can be used in both the crown and the root. It replaces dentin and saves pulp vitality along with the following indi- cations: • Permanent dentin restorations; • Deep cavities; • Pulp capping; • Pulpotomy; • Temporary enamel restoration; • Root perforations; • Pulpal floor perforations; • Internal/external resorptions; • Apexification and apical surger. According to the company, there is no other single product on the market that can be used for all of these indica- tions. Extremely tight seals with adhesive systems In addition to developing watertight interfaces with dentin, the calcium salts in Biodentine produce extremely tight seals with adhesive systems, making the material suitable for use as a base or liner under resin compos- ite or an inlay/onlay. AD Here in Toronto Learn more about Biodentine and other Septodont products in the Septodont booth (No. 1524) in the ASM150 exhibit hall. With all of these indications, gen- eral practitioners, endodontists and pediatric dentists can all benefit from using Biodentine, according to the company. Made from the purist form of cal- cium silicate, Biodentine does not stain teeth. It contains no metal impurities, as are present in “Port- land” based cements. As part of the chemical-setting- reaction of Biodentine, calcium hydroxide is formed, initiating the healing response. (Clinical data is available from Septodont on this proven chemistry.) In addition to treating damaged dentin, Biodentine provides other clinical benefits, including: 1) Higher compressive strength than dentin. 2) Flexural modulus like dentin. 5 Septodont’s Biodentine, a resin-free bioactive and biocompatible dentin replacement material, can be used in both the crown and the root.

According to the company, the material’s tri-calcium silicate core enables the minerals in Biodentine to penetrate the dentin tubules, forming an extremely tight seal. Beyond its high dimensional stability, Bioden- tine also exhibits microleakage resist- ance, which minimizes post-operative sensitivity and reduces the risk of bacterial percolation. The material’s high alkaline pH gives it antibacterial properties that help to protect the tooth from recurrent infections, the company reports. Available in an economically priced 15-pack or an operatory five- pack, Biodentine is available through your authorized dental dealership. (Source: Septodont)
