Abstract

Furcal perforation is an iatrogenic or pathologic communication between the pulp chamber floor and the alveolar bone. The outcome of perforation sealing depends greatly on the tissue compatibility and bioactivity and sealing properties of the repair materials. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine are currently the most used materials to treat this condition. The present systematic review aimed to report the treatment outcome of repaired furcal perforation using MTA and Biodentine and identify which material would yield a better outcome. Methodology: A comprehensive search was conducted using the PubMed database to identify experimental studies and case reports that describe treatment of furcal perforation. Studies and case reports that evaluated the outcome of repaired furcal perforations using MTA and Biodentine, published in English from 2018 to April 2022, were identified. Unavailable full texts were excluded. Results: Initial screening of 724 articles (670 studies and 54 case reports). After discarding the duplicated studies, we reviewed 50 studies, selecting 13 for abstract analysis. We retrieved and evaluated full texts of eight studies and five case reports. Both materials had an equivalent success rate in the first three months but by 12 months Biodentine performed better than MTA clinically and radiographically. Conclusions: Repair of furcal perforation with Biodentine yields a better outcome compared to MTA.
