Introduction. Materials’ properties are fundamental elements for a successful dental treatment. Dentists should always explore different materials to be familiar with newly introduced alternatives and thus provide the best available options to their patients. Aim.To conduct a literature review on Biodentine, its properties and its uses in endodontics. Materials and methods. The international database PubMed was searched between 2010 and May 2020 to identify publications on Biodentine using the following keywords: “Biodentine,” “perforation,” “retrograde filling,” and “vital pulp therapy”. Results and discussion. The search found 33 publications that assessed Biodentine’s uses and its properties in endodontics. Conclusions. As demonstrated by the assessed studies, Biodentine can be a good alternative to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in endodontics, as it shares similar efficacy in clinical settings.
