Beyond the Marketing: Practical Realities of Using Hydraulic Cements in Endodontics.
By bridging the gap between science and technique, this lecture aims to equip clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to fully integrate hydraulic calcium silicate cements into predictable and efficient endodontic workflows.
Hydraulic calcium silicate cements have redefined the landscape of modern endodontics, offering a unique combination of bioactivity, sealing ability, and biocompatibility. This lecture traces the evolution of these materials from their scientific foundations to their transformative role in daily clinical practice. We will explore their chemical composition, physical properties, and biological behavior, shedding light on how these characteristics influence outcomes in obturation, perforation repair, and regenerative procedures.
The session will also address the transition from in vitro data to in vivo success, highlighting key clinical protocols, decision-making pathways, and case-based applications. By bridging the gap between science and technique, this lecture aims to equip clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to fully integrate hydraulic calcium silicate cements into predictable and efficient endodontic workflows.
