Biodentine was successfully launched to the UK dental market in September 2010, marking a new era in restorative dentistry and endodontics. The product is the first all-in-one, biocompatible and bioactive material that can be used wherever dentine is damaged, making it almost literally ‘dentine in a capsule’. Based on unique Active Biosilicate Technology, Biodentine is highly biocompatible, thanks to its tricalcium silicate core. The product also makes the risk of adverse tissue response a thing of the past and helps preserve pulp vitality by promoting reactionary dentine genesis and has outstanding sealing properties to reduce the risk of clinical failures through bacterial percolation, thus ensuring the absence of post-operative sensitivity.
