Reseña del editor:

The dawn of a new era was seen in dentistry with bioceramic materials. Although used mainly for dental implants and coatings for implants, their introduction into endodontics as mineralising materials has made enormous productive changes starting from pulp capping, to apexogenesis, apexification and furcation repair. This book is an attempt to bring into light the properties and the unique capabilities of bioceramics used in pediatric endodontics namely Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC), Bioglass, Calcium Phosphate Ceramics, and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Absolute biocompatibility, osseoconductivity, ability to achieve excellent hermetic seal, formation of chemical bond with the tooth structure, insolubility in tissue fluids, good radiopacity, easy handling characteristics make these materials an attractive option in the area of pediatric endodontics. Bioceramic materials, still in their infancy, has demonstrated incomparable excellence in various treatment modalities like pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexifcation and apexgenesis, root canal sealers, obturating materials, retrograde filling materials, bone filler for periapical defects and management of endodontic mishaps like perfor
