Abstract

Bioceramics include ceramic materials specifically designed for use in medicine and dentistry. These materials are mainly alumina, zirconia, bioactive glass, glass ceramics, coatings, composites, hydroxyapatite and resorbable calcium phosphates. Dental applications include dental implants, in periodontal treatment, alveolar ridge augmentation, maxillofacial surgery, pulp capping and apexification. The use of alumina and zirconia can be seen for prosthetic devices although calcium phosphate based materials are used for filling bone defects. Bioceramics are biocompatible, non–toxic, do not shrink and are chemically stable within the biological environment. Bioceramic sealers allow the enhanced use of bioceramics. The future of bioceramics is very promising. Recently, bioceramic putty has been introduced for primary teeth along with other fast repair materials.
