Bioactive glass use highly beneficial as remineralizing additive in dental composites
Bioactive glass use is highly beneficial in dentistry, according to a recent study published in Dental Materials.
In recent years, numerous studies have analyzed the role of bioactive glass (BAG) as remineralizing additives in dental restorative composites. This current review provides a critical analysis of the existing literature, particularly focusing on BAGs prepared via the melt-quench route that form an "apatite-like" phase when immersed in physiological-like solutions.
Online databases (Science Direct, PubMed and Google Scholar) were used to collect data published from 1962 to 2020. The research papers were analyzed and the relevant papers were selected for this review. Sol-gel bioactive glass (BAG) was not included in this review since it is not a cost-effective manufacturing technique that can be upscaled and is difficult to incorporate fluoride.
The Results of the study are as follows:
