About this Research Topic
The field of dental biomaterials has witnessed rapid and significant advancements in recent times, with a diversity of materials being employed in root canal treatment for both permanent and primary teeth.
At the heart of these developments is the enduring quest for bioactive and biocompatible materials. These materials need to possess key mechanical, physicochemical, and biological properties to successfully meet the demands of the evolving dental market. A growing trend is the use of calcium silicate-based materials, which are increasingly being deployed in a range of treatments. These treatments span from direct or indirect pulp capping and total or partial pulpotomy, to perforations, root end filling, and root canal obturation.
While these products hold much potential, it's critical to recognize that they may exert both positive and negative impacts on oral health. This dichotomy presents fertile ground for scholarly exploration and discussion.
In light of this, our Research Topic welcomes a range of submissions, spanning from review papers and original research articles, to opinion pieces and clinical case studies. These works are encouraged to explore the following themes:
- The utilization of calcium silicate in endodontic treatment
- The modification and subsequent evaluation of calcium silicate
- Various application techniques of calcium silicate
- Key biological, physicochemical, and mechanical properties of calcium silicate
