Hydroxyapatite, bioactive glass, alumina, resorbable calcium phosphates, and zirconia are examples of bioceramics. They've also been employed in dentistry as bone defect fillers, endodontic sealants, apical fill materials, perforations capping, root repair materials, and regenerative aids. They offer several benefits, including dimensional stability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and bio-inertness in therapeutic applications. They are comparable to Hydroxyapatite and have an inherent osteoconductive activity and the capacity to stimulate regenerating activities in the human body. Bioceramics are ceramic components that may be produced in situ and in vivo through a variety of chemical methods. Due to their closeness to biomaterials like hydroxyapatite, bioceramics have great biocompatibility. Bioceramics and multi-substituted hydroxyapatite and related substances can stimulate the individual's regeneration mechanism. Humans employ bioceramics for repair or replacement, and they claim to be have incredible conductive and bioinductive qualities. Those materials have been created to be biocompatible with living tissue and having a wide range of applications in repair and replacement. This article concentrated on a comprehensive introduction of bioceramics, their categorization, and their benefits. It also provides a comprehensive overview of the various bio-ceramic materials now employed in endodontics, as well as their features and uses. This article examines the application of bioceramic and composite materials in practical restorative dentistry, as well as the factual evidence for their selection, use, or performance in a variety of treatment scenarios.
