Biodentine® needs to be mixed at high speed and strength, and should only be mixed in a triturator/amalgamator. Mixing by hand may result in inconsistent material properties, potentially affecting setting and sealing. It can also introduce air into the material, which may reduce its mechanical strength. Further, Biodentine® has a working time of six minutes; mixing by hand is slower and can significantly reduce the time available to handle and place the material.
To ensure proper mixing, Biodentine® should always be mixed using a triturator/amalgamator. Examples of compatible products can be found in the Biodentine® instructions for use.
Yes, Biodentine® can be placed directly over the pulp. Thanks to the high purity of the tricalcium silicate material and the absence of contaminants such as heavy metals, Biodentine® is a biocompatible medical device, without mutagenic, irritant, or sensitizing potential. Internal studies and clinical experience highlighted that Biodentine® is very well tolerated by the pulp tissue. Moreover, thanks to its bioactivity*, it promotes a favorable environment for angiogenesis and osteogenesis, thus stimulating the healing process3.
