Why Bioceramics are the new Gold Standard
🦷 Why Bioceramic Endodontics Is the New Gold Standard
Modern endodontics has advanced significantly in the last decade, and one of the most important improvements is the shift toward bioceramic materials. These bioactive, biocompatible materials seal and strengthen teeth in ways traditional resin-based sealers simply cannot match.
At Media Endodontics, we use bioceramic sealers and bioceramic putty in every treatment—including root canal therapy, retreatment, resorption repair, and apicoectomy—because the science consistently shows superior outcomes for patients.
This article explains why bioceramics matter, how they work, and why referring dentists increasingly choose biologically advanced endodontics for their patients.
What Are Bioceramics?
Bioceramics are calcium-silicate–based materials that integrate with dentin and promote healing. They are used in:
• Root canal therapy

• Retreatment

• Apicoectomy

• Internal resorption repair
• Apexification
• Perforation repair
• Regenerative endodontic procedures
Bioceramics are bioactive, hydrophilic, dimensionally stable, and extremely biocompatible.
Why Bioceramics Are Superior
1. Better Seal — No Shrinkage
Traditional resin sealers shrink as they cure.
Bioceramic sealers slightly expand, forming a tighter seal and reducing the risk of leakage and reinfection.
Research shows superior sealing ability and less microleakage compared with resin-based sealers.
2. Bioactive Healing
Bioceramics release calcium ions that stimulate hard tissue formation and promote biologic repair at the apex.
This makes them ideal for:
• Large apical lesions
• Immature roots
• Cracked teeth
• Resorption defects
3. Extremely High Biocompatibility
Bioceramics trigger minimal inflammation and integrate well with bone and periodontal tissues. Studies confirm:
• Excellent compatibility
• No toxicity to periodontal ligament cells
• Better tissue response than resin sealers
4. Gold Standard for Apicoectomy
Bioceramic putties (BC RRM / NeoPutty) have become the preferred retrofill material for apicoectomy. Success rates exceed 90–95% when combined with modern microscopes and advanced irrigation.

5. Long-Term Stability
Bioceramics do not shrink, dissolve, or discolor the tooth over time. Resin sealers can break down; bioceramics stay chemically stable for the lifetime of the tooth.
Why Media Endodontics Uses Bioceramics Exclusively
At Media Endodontics, every treatment includes:
• Bioceramic sealer
• Bioceramic putty when indicated
• Laser-advanced irrigation protocols
• Microscope-guided instrumentation
• CBCT analysis for complex cases
• Sedation options for anxious patients

Our consistent protocol ensures predictable outcomes and strong long-term healing.
Information for Referring Dentists
Dentists choose Media Endodontics because bioceramic-based endodontics offers:
• Higher healing rates
• Lower postoperative sensitivity
• Reduced risk of reinfection
• Better performance in complex or compromised teeth
• More predictable long-term outcomes
• A biologically advanced, patient-centered approach
Our commitment to bioceramic-only treatment means your patients receive the most modern, biologically sound care available.
