ENDOSEQUENCE ROOT REPAIR MATERIAL (ERRM): A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Bioceramics are biocompatible ceramic material specically developed to be used in medical and dental elds to repair and reconstruct diseased or
damaged part. Since 1990's MTA is a widely used bioceramics in dentistry. ERRM, a new bioceramic endodontic material available in pre-mixed
syringes, is demonstrated to be an effective material for various endodontic treatments with similar properties to MTA. It has good antimicrobial
properties with superior osteo/ odonto induction potential. ERRM and iRoot can be effectively used as root repair material in various procedures
such as perforation repair, furcation repair, retrograde lling material, vital pulp therapies (pulp capping, pulpotomy), as well as in regenerative
procedures. Apart from this ERRM also promotes root formation hence, can be used in regenerative procedures (apexogenesis and apexication).
This review of literature is focused on the properties and clinical applications of the new bioceramic material, Endosequence Root Repair Material
(ERRM).
