Abstract
Root canal sealers are required an impenetrable seal between the core material and root canal dentin. In cultures, the majority of standard root canal sealers have shown inadequate biological activity and are cytotoxic, incredibly when freshly mixed. To address these drawbacks, bioceramic sealers were created, and it has been demonstrated that they perform better in clinical settings. They are bio-inert, non-toxic, and have several other benefits like dimensional stability. Additionally, when they are set, they form hydroxyapatite, which has inherent osteoconductive properties and stimulates the body's healing processes. Therefore, this review aims to go through the different bioceramic sealers and their classification, characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks.
