This hands-on workshop is delivered in two complementary sessions addressing key applications of bioceramic materials across the endodontic treatment continuum. The first session focuses on Biodentine™, exploring its use in vital pulp therapy and dentine replacement. Evidence-based concepts, clinical indications, and step-by-step protocols will be presented, supported by clinical case examples highlighting pulp preservation and restorative integration. The second session focuses on BioRoot™ Flow, examining its role as a bioactive hydraulic sealer for root canal obturation. The session will review material properties, obturation strategies, and clinical healing outcomes, followed by guided hands-on exposure to handling and delivery techniques. This workshop combines lectures with practical training to support evidence-based clinical decision-making and technique execution.

Expected learning outcomes:

Biodentine™ – Vital Pulp Therapy

• Identify clinical indications for hydraulic calcium silicate cements in vital pulp therapy
• Correlate clinical symptoms with pulpal histology to guide appropriate treatment decisions
• Perform evidence-based, step-by-step vital pulp therapy procedures using Biodentine™
• Apply Biodentine™ as a dentine replacement material under indirect restorations

BioRoot™ Flow – Root Canal Obturation

• Describe the unique properties of BioRoot™ Flow and their relevance to endodontic obturation and biological healing
• Interpret selected clinical cases demonstrating the clinical application and healing performance of BioRoot™ Flow
• Demonstrate familiarity with correct handling and delivery techniques for BioRoot™ Flow through a guided hands-on experience
