BioRoot Flow and Biodentine XP provide complementary restorative and therapeutic benefits that streamline endodontic success and support long-term tooth health

 

When the future of an endodontically treated tooth is at risk, material choice matters. Luckily, Septodont’s patented Active BioSilicate (ABS) Technology is up for the challenge. Found in BioRoot Flow and Biodentine XP, its highly pure tricalcium silicate formulation delivers a durable seal and supports the biological response essential for long-term preservation.

 

Just ask Carolina Rodriguez-Figueroa, DDS, MS, who explained that, along with eliminating shrinkage and postop sensitivity, “ABS Technology improves the bioactivity, sealing ability, and regenerative potential of root canal materials, which helps enhance the overall success of endodontic treatments.”

BioRoot Flow: Seal with Confidence

 

A bioceramic root canal sealer in a ready-to-use syringe, BioRoot Flow stands out to Dr. Rodriguez-Figueroa because of its excellent flowability, bioactivity, and superior sealing. “I really like its consistency, and I feel safe while injecting it in the canal and controlling unnecessary large extrusions through the apex,” she said, also citing versatility as a key advantage. “Its properties remain stable even when exposed to heat, making it suitable for use in warm obturation techniques.”

 

Biodentine XP: The Next Best Thing

 

Deep cavity restoration presents another clinical challenge, but Biodentine XP delivers the next best thing to tooth structure. In addition to compressive strength comparable to sound dentin, the material provides therapeutic properties that support the healing and health of surrounding tissues.

 

“In my opinion, Biodentine XP should be the first choice for restoring the dentin layer,” Dr. Rodriguez-Figueroa said. “Its combination of bioactivity, excellent mechanical properties, ease of use, and manageable setting time makes it a highly effective and preferable option for deep cavity restorations—providing both functional and biological benefits that help ensure long-term success.”
