About endodontic cements
Zinc oxide-eugenol is a cement the FDA lists as a Class I device, used as a temporary filling, as a base under one, to fix a crown or bridge, or on a tooth to protect the pulp. Dental cements of any other composition are Class II (21 CFR 872.3275). Gutta-percha with a zinc oxide eugenol based sealer is described as the most prevalent combination used to fill a canal. Calcium silicate cements, the group that includes mineral trioxide aggregate, are self-setting hydraulic cements used for pulp capping, pulpotomy, apexification, perforation repair and root-end filling.
Mixed from a powder and a liquid, or supplied in a capsule, and set in the canal.
