Abstract

An important factor in the outcome of endodontic treatments consists in the techniques and materials used for root canal obturation. Numerous endodontic sealers have been created over the years, each with special qualities, benefits, and drawbacks. From this point of view, it can be stated that the emergence and introduction of bioceramic materials in endodontics have changed to a good extent our approach. Continuous innovations have led to successive generations and different classes of bioceramic sealers that have been increasingly used in clinical endodontics. This article reviews the latest progress in bioceramic sealers, focusing on their clinical performance, material science innovations, and the implications for future endodontic practice. These materials are discussed starting with their introduction, and then analysing their physico-chemical characteristics, clinical uses, most recent developments, potential future paths, and research suggestions.
