The cold ceramic material

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to review the composition, sealing ability, biocompatibility and various
physical properties of cold ceramic (CC) material that potentially used as a root filling material. Thereview of the articles was performed by electronic and manual searching methods regarding theproperties of CC from November 2000 to May 2016. The results revealed that there were many
published reports carried out on the properties of CC. Only one article had extensively studiedthe composition of CC, five studies had investigated the sealing ability of CC, three articles hadstudied the biocompatibility, and some studies had investigated the radiopacity, setting time, pH value, and solubility of CC. It was concluded that CC material had good potential for endodonticuse. Furthermore, clinical studies are needed in these areas.
Key Words: Biocompatibility, root-end filling material, physical properties, sealing, solubility
