Properties Biodentine® is a bioactive dentin substitute from the « Active Biosilicate Technology® » innovation. Biodentine® has mechanical properties similar to the sound dentin and can replace it both in the crown and in the root, without any preliminary conditioning of mineral tissues Biodentine® contains high-purity, monomer-free mineral ingredients and is highly biocompatible. Biodentine® creates the optimal conditions for maintenance of pulp vitality, by providing a very tight seal on the dentin surface. It therefore reduces the risk of postoperative sensitivity and the longevity of restorations in vital teeth.
Biodentine®, being bioactive, stimulates the pulp cells to build reactionary dentin. The dentin bridges are created faster and are thicker than with similar dental materials and represent the necessary condition for optimal pulp healing. Biodentine® offers an initial setting time reduced down to 12 minutes from start of mix, for optimal use in the crown.
Indications
In the crown:
Permanent dentin restoration under composites or Inlay/Onlay
Temporary dentin-enamel restoration.
Restoration of deep and/or large coronal carious lesions (sandwich technique).
Restoration of cervical radicular lesions.
Pulp capping.
Pulpotomy.
In the root:
Repair of root perforations.
Repair of furcation perforations.
Repair of perforating internal resorptions.
Repair of external resorption
Apexification.
Root-end filling in endodontic surgery (retrograde filling).
Biodentine® is not to be used for permanent obturation or sealing of the root canal.
Contraindication
Allergy to one of the ingredients.
Limits of use
Restoration of large loss of tooth substance subjected to high stresses.
Esthetic restoration of anterior teeth.
Treatment of teeth with irreversible pulpitis.
Side effects
No known side effects.
Instuctions of use(For each indication)
Biodentine® mixing instructions
1) Take a capsule and gently tap it on a hard surface to loosen the powder.
2) Open a capsule and place it on the white capsule holder.
3) Detach a single-dose container of liquid and gently tap on the sealed cap to force all the liquid down
the container.
4) Twist cap to open. Be careful that no drop of liquid falls out of the single dose container.
5) Pour 5 drops from the single-dose container into the capsule.
6) Close the capsule. Place the capsule on a mixing device, such as Technomix, Tac 400 (Lineatac), Silamat,
Cap-Mix, Rotomix, Ultramat etc., at a speed of 4000 – 4200 rotations/min.
7) Mix for 30 seconds.
8) Open the capsule and check the materialʼs consistency. If a thicker consistency is preferred, wait for
30 sec to 1 min before checking again. Do not exceed the working time.
9) Collect Biodentine® with the instrument supplied in the box. Depending on the desired application, you
may handle Biodentine® with an amalgam carrier, a spatula or a Root Canal Messing Gun.
Rapidly rinse and clean the instruments to remove any residual material.
