Biodentine has emerged in recent years as an innovative bioactive dentine substitute. Its superior physical properties, improved handling, and various clinical applications have made biodentine popular in dentistry. It has been advocated for vital pulp therapy, root perforations, resorptions, retrograde fillings, and dentin replacement. Biodentine is calcium silicate-based cement formed by highly purified tricalcium silicate (80.1%). Unlike mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), it does not contain bismuth oxide, which is known to delay setting, affecting biocompatibility and causing discoloration.
