Abstract

Biodentin is a calcium silicate-based restorative material that is increasingly used in primary teeth treatment. This material has superior properties such as high biocompatibility, the ability to form secondary dentin, and antimicrobial properties, which make it a potential choice as a material in primary teeth root canal treatment. This literature review aims to review the use of Biodentin as a material of choice in primary teeth root canal treatment, considering the advantages, mechanisms of action, and clinical results that support its application. The results of the study showed that Biodentin has a faster setting time, good mechanical strength, and supports optimal pulp tissue regeneration. However, several limitations such as relatively high costs and limited long-term clinical trials need to be considered. Thus, Biodentin can be considered as an effective and safe alternative in primary teeth treatment, although further research is still needed to strengthen the clinical evidence of its use.
