Abstract:
The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the biocompatibility and interaction of bioceramic materials with animal and human mesenchymal cells in vitro and in vivo and to compare them with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Two independent researchers conducted PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus searches to identify studies published in English, without restrictions on year of publication using the following keywords: "root canal sealer," "root repair material," "cytotoxicity," and "bioceramics." The articles were selected following the PRISMA statement. A total of 1486 titles were identified in the initial search. However, only 18 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that bioceramic materials have biological properties similar to those of MTA, including low cytotoxicity as well as promoting cell proliferation and adhesion, low expression of inflammatory cytokines, and reduced pulp inflammation. This systematic review therefore suggests that the choice of repair bioceramic materials or MTA based on biocompatibility should be the professional's decision.
