Reparative Cement
Indication
- Treatment of root canal and furcation perforations
- Sealing of internal resorption
- Surgical treatment of root perforation due to internal resorption
- Reverse filling in periapical surgery
- Pulp capping
- Pulpotomy (removal of affected coronal pulp to preserve vitality of remaining pulp tissue)
- Apexigenesis (induction of root development in vital teeth with an inflamed coronal pulp)
- Apexification (induction of formation of a mineralized barrier at the root tip of young permanent teeth with incomplete root development and a necrotic pulp)
Characteristic and Benefits
- Ions Calcium Release: enhances formation of mineralized tissues; provides biological seal of perforations and total repair of damaged periradicular tissues
- Hydrophilic: can be used in humid areas without losing properties
- High alkalinity: antibacterial properties
- Low solubility: does not allow leakage
- Calcium oxide: promotes tissue biocompatibility
- Aggregated oxides: great compressive strength
- High radiopacity: higher radiopacity than that of dentin, allowing excellent radiographic visualization
- Setting time of 15 minutes: shorter setting time than similar cements
