Use of bioceramic cement in the root perforation: A literature review

The root perforation, in spite of being taken as a challenging incident in Endodontics, has display satisfactory outcomes when exposed to proper therapeutic conducts and the usage of materials that have favorable properties. The current study had as goal to conduct a literature review regarding the use of Mineral trioxide aggregate, EndoSequence root repair material and Biodentine in the treatment of root perforation approaching some of the key properties for treatment success. A search was performed in the database of the Public Medline and CAPES Journals Portal, through the keywords: root perforation, Biodentine, mineral tri-oxide aggregate, Endodontics, Endosequence. From the 2,260 papers traced, 581 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. From these 50 were chosen after reading the title and topic, and when they were understood as a whole, 27 references were elected to comprise the research. It was settled that there is no consensus in the literature concerning the material that displays the best characteristics, once none of the materials addressed had all the essential properties higher than the others, this way it is required the execution of further studies aimed at addressing the materials characteristics suggested in the root perforation treatment.
