Table 2 The major research findings of calcium silicate-based bioceramics in root perforation repair

Root perforation repair

MTA

MTA could repair the perforation and control the inflammation of periodontal tissue.

[68, 69]

MTA possessed long-term stable sealant, biocompatibility and ability of the release of high concentration of calcium.

[70, 71]

MTA displayed satisfactory long-term efficacy.

[72, 73]

There was no significant difference between Pro-MTA and Angelus MTA in furcal perforation repair, but white MTA displayed better esthetic effect than grey MTA.

[74]

ProRoot MTA and RetroMTA still existed more excellent adhesion ability than Biodentine and Supra MTA in blood contamination setting.

[75]

Biodentine

Biodentine demonstrates superior bond strength when compared to MTA, but it is more susceptible to the influence of blood contamination.

[64, 75, 76]

Bioaggregate

Bioaggregate and grey MTA displayed similar satisfactory clinical efficacy.

[77]

iRoot BP Plus

iRoot BP Plus displayed lower microleakage and tighter material-periodontal ligament tissue junctions than MTA.
