[Biocem--a new material for retrograde tooth root filling]
Fortschritte Der Kiefer- Und Gesichts-Chirurgie
|January 1, 1995
Summary
Biocem, a novel two-component material, demonstrates superior performance for retrograde root-canal filling. Long-term clinical follow-up confirms its biocompatibility, watertight sealing, and application efficacy, reducing complications compared to traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Endodontics
- Biomaterials Science
Context:
- Retrograde root-canal filling procedures require advanced materials for optimal outcomes.
- Conventional materials often present limitations in biocompatibility and sealing efficacy.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the clinical application and long-term efficacy of Biocem, a new two-component material, for retrograde root-canal filling.
Summary:
- Biocem, a novel two-component material, was applied in 234 root-canal fillings between 1987-1992.
- Autopolymerization of Biocem creates a three-dimensional structure.
- Biomechanical, histological, and clinical follow-up confirmed Biocem's optimal biocompatibility, watertight sealing, and application properties.
Impact:
- Biocem demonstrated superiority over conventional materials and ceramics in retrograde root-canal filling.
- The material significantly reduced complications and showed promising results in new apposition and overall evaluation.
