Bioactive Materials in Restorative Dentistry: A Literature Review
Bioactive materials have had a great impact on restorative dentistry, favoring the longevity of restorations, cell stimulation for dentin repair, increasing adhesive resistance, and reducing the recurrence of cavities and bacterial microfiltration. Treatment with bioactive materials has covered various fields in restorative dentistry, generating direct interactions are the substrate and remineralization by initiating precipitation and ion exchange that allow the development of a hydroxyapatite layer favoring the dental remineralization process. Its antimicrobial action has an impact on the protection of recurrent cavities and bacterial microfiltration. Besides, interdigitation with the collagen mesh and apatite crystallization in the dentinal tubules favors the treatment of tooth sensitivity. This article provides a review of the characteristics of bioactive materials used in restorative dentistry.
