    <abstract locale="en_US">Introduction: Cold Ceramic (CC) is designed to meet the ideal criteria for root filling materials, offering effective sealing, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, dimensional stability, insolubility in tissue fluids, radiopacity, and ease of handling. It sets in the presence of moisture, making it suitable for various endodontic applications such as root-end filling, root perforation repair, apical barriers in teeth with open apices, and pulp capping. This study aims to evaluate cold ceramic&#x2019;s clinical outcomes and applications as presented in case reports. 
Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify published case reports and case series on the clinical application of cold ceramics in endodontics from January 2000 to April 2024.&#xA0; Databases searched included PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. The search terms used were &#x201C;cold ceramic,&#x201D; &#x201C;bio ceramic,&#x201D; &#x201C;endodontics,&#x201D; &#x201C;case report,&#x201D; &#x201C;clinical outcomes,&#x201D; and &#x201C;dental materials&#x201D;. Articles in English and Persian were included. Patient demographics, cold ceramic brand, clinical procedures, outcomes, follow-up periods, and any complications were extracted. Quality assessment of the included case reports was performed using the CARE guidelines.
Results: After removing duplicates and screening titles and abstracts, 7 case reports and 2 case series met the inclusion criteria. The reviewed case reports included 16 patients (9 female and 7 male) with a mean age of 29.25&#xB1;1.2. Clinical outcomes were generally favorable, with high success rates and minimal complications reported. 
Conclusion: All cases demonstrated radiographic and clinical healing and an absence of postoperative pain or infection during follow-up periods ranging from 3 months to 4 years. cold ceramics provide promising success rates and negligible complications in various clinical endodontic scenarios.
