Septodont's Biodentine™ has revolutionised the treatment of deep caries, is acknowledged by more than 800 publications worldwide and has saved millions of teeth as the all-in-one bioactive dentine substitute. Now, following the ESE statement for managing exposed pulp, supported by 3 clinical studies showing 95% clinical success, and validated by Septodont’s notified body, Biodentine™ can now actively be used for teeth showing signs and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis, as long as haemostasis can be achieved within 5 minutes.
Thanks to its one-of-a-kind properties, dentists can extend vital pulp therapy using Biodentine™ to irreversible pulpitis conditions, which allows complete dentine bridge formation. The treatment is minimally invasive to preserve as much tooth structure as possible and the patient is immediately relieved from the pain associated with the inflammation.
