The introduction of modified bioceramic calcium silicate- based materials into clinical practice has changed the standards and strategies of endodontic treatment. The review article highlights modern calcium silicate- based cements that are used in various areas of endodontics, including vital pulp therapy, root canal obturation, management of endodontic complications and pulp regeneration. The classifications of bioceramic materials based on their chemistry and specific use in endodontics are presented. The physicochemical and biological properties of various types of materials, as well as the features of their clinical application, are described.

Calcium silicate-based cements are biocompatible materials for vital pulp therapy. However, they discolour the tooth tissue, which is important for the aesthetics of the anterior teeth. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of calcium silicate-based cements on tooth discolouration. The study included 70 extracted bovine incisors. The crown of the tooth was cut off from the root, 2 mm below the cement–enamel junction. The pulp tissue was removed via a cervical cut with a barbed broach. The teeth were randomly divided into five experimental, one positive, and one negative control groups. The evaluated materials included Biodentine, Ortho MTA, Retro MTA, MTA Plus, MTA Repair HP, and in the positive group, ProRoot MTA. A VITA Easyshade Compact 5.0 spectrophotometer was used before the application, after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. The significance levels were set at p < 0.05. All materials significantly changed the teeth colour (p < 0.05). However, Ortho MTA, ProRoot MTA, MTA Plus, and Biodentine (ΔE > 6) caused maximum colour change after 6 months. While the ProRoot MTA, Ortho MTA, and MTA Plus caused grey discolouration, Biodentine darkened the shade of the base colour. Thus, Retro MTA and MTA Repair HP can be safely used in the aesthetic dentition zone. According to these clinical results, the possibility of using Biodentine, due to its lack of gray discoloration, can be considered.

Background and Objectives: Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in permanent mature teeth is a common indication for nonsurgical root canal treatment (NSRCT), but contemporary studies have reported on vital pulp therapy (VPT) applied in such teeth as a less invasive treatment. This systematic review assessed the outcomes of VPT, including partial and full pulpotomy performed with hydraulic calcium silicate cements (HCSCs) in permanent mature posterior teeth diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Materials and Methods: The PRISMA guidelines were followed. The search strategy included PubMed®, EMBASE, Cochrane library and grey literature electronic databases. The quality assessment of the identified studies followed the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias, ROBINS-I and Newcastle–Ottawa Scale tools. Results: The search of primary databases identified 142 articles, of which 9 randomized controlled trials and 3 prospective cohort studies were selected for review. The risk-of-bias was assessed as ‘high’ or ‘serious’, ‘fair’, and ‘low’ for three, seven and two articles, respectively. One to five years after VPT using HCSCs, the success rates mostly ranged from 78 to 90%. Based on two articles, the outcomes of the VPT and NSRCT were comparable at one and five years. Despite the necessity for the intra-operative pulp assessment in VPT procedures, the majority of the studies did not fully report on this step or on the time needed to achieve hemostasis. Small sample sizes, of under 23 teeth, were reported in three studies. Conclusions: The reviewed 12 articles reported favorable outcomes of the VPT performed with HCSCs in permanent mature posterior teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, with radiographic success in the range of 81 to 90%. Two articles suggested comparable outcomes of the VPT and root canal treatment. Universal case selection and outcome criteria needs to be established for VPT when considered as an alternative to NSRCT. This evidence supports the need for further research comparing longer-term outcomes of both of the treatment modalities.

Vital pulp therapy (VPT), including direct pulp capping, partial and cervical Pulpotomy, was suggested for the treatment of young teeth, with reversible or irreversible pulpitis [1]. Maintaining the vitality of immature teeth enables continued root development, maturogenesis, and a better prognosis

Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is a viable treatment option for carious teeth with exposed pulps. To our knowledge, no study has examined the correlation between postoperative pain and the outcome of VPT on asymptomatic permanent teeth. The aim of this study was to examine whether odontogenic pain experienced after VPT on asymptomatic teeth with a carious pulp exposures is correlated with the progression of pulpal disease into a more inflamed or necrotic state. Direct pulp caps or partial pulpotomies using a tricalcium silicate (MTA Angelus, Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) were performed on asymptomatic permanent teeth using a standardized protocol. Patients were contacted at 24 h, 1 week, and 3 months following treatment and data was collected on post-operative pain and analgesic intake using a standardized questionnaire. At 6 months after treatment, an in-person clinical exam was performed which included standard vitality tests along with exposure of a periapical radiograph. Success was defined as an asymptomatic, functional tooth without any clinical or radiographic pathology. Data was analyzed using logistic regression. VPT was successful in 84.3% of patients at the 6 months timepoint. The percentage of patients that experienced pain at 24-h, 1 week, and 3-month time periods was 38, 22, and 12%, respectively. Pain at 3 months was significantly correlated with decreased outcome (p = 0.028). This data suggests that postoperative pain in the first 3 months after VPT is predictive of a poor treatment outcome.
