Indication :

• Treatment of perforations of root canal and furcation caused iatrogenically or by caries lesion
• Via canal treatment of root perforation due to internal resorption
• Surgical treatment of root perforation due to internal resorption
• Periapical surgery with reverse filling
• Pulp capping
• Pulpotomy (removal of affected coronal pulp to preserve vitality of remaining pulp tissue)
• Apexogenesis (induction of root development in vital teeth with an inflamed coronal pulp)
• Apexification (induction of formation of a mineralized barrier at the root tip of young permanent teeth with incomplete root development and a necrotic pulp)

Advantages :

• Ions Calcium Release: Enhances formation of mineralized tissues; provides biological seal of perforations and total repair of damaged periradicular tissues
• Biological action: Capable of inducing neoformation of periradicular cementum
• Easy to use: does not lose properties due to moisture of oral tissues
• High alkalinity: Bactericidal
• Low solubility: Does not disintegrate
• Biocompatible to oral tissues: Low inflamatory response
• Adequate compressive strength: Can be used as base restoration material
• More radiopaque than dentin and bone: Easy radiograph visibility
• Setting time of 15 minutes: Possibility of immediate restoration
