Biodentine: Dentine Substitute Cement in Capsules - Septodont

Septodont Bioactive Dentin Replacement Cement in capsules

Biodentine is a bioactive dentine substitute based on tricalcium silicate. Biodentine has similar mechanical properties to healthy dentine and can replace it, both at the coronal and root level. Thanks to its dentine-like components it is biocompatible, helps to preserve pulp vitality together with a tight seal on the surface without the need for pre-treatment and ensures minimal postoperative sensitivity.

Characteristics of Biodentine:

• Versatile use indicated for endodontic repair and restorative procedures.
• It has similar mechanical properties to healthy dentine and can replace it, both at the coronal and root level.
• Eliminates postoperative sensitivity.
• Optimal conditions to preserve pulp vitality.
• Ensures tightness at the dentine level.
• It facilitates the direct bonding of the composite with this dental cement.
• No surface preparation is necessary thanks to its natural micromechanical anchorage with sealing properties.
• High purity mineral elements without monomer.
• Radiopaque: its radiopacity of 3.5 mm aluminium facilitates short- and long-term monitoring.
• Shorter initial setting time of only 12 minutes.
• Composed of: tricalcium silicate, zirconium oxide, calcium oxide, calcium carbonate and dyes.
• Biocompatible.
• Contents: Box of 5 capsules + 5 unidosis of liquid.

Indications for use of Biodentine:

The versatility of Biodentine allows it to be used at both coronary and root level.

At the coronary level it can be used in:

• Temporary enamel restoration.
• Permanent restoration of dentine.
• Large or deep caries lesions, cervical or deep root lesions.
• Enamel coating.
• Pulpotomy.

At root level it can be used in:

• Root perforation and bifurcation.
• Internal/external resorptions.
• Apexification.
• Surgical retrograde filling.
