Dental restorative materials containing quaternary ammonium compounds have sustained antibacterial action suggests a recent study published in the JADA. This narrative review addresses dental restorative materials with sustained antibacterial action, especially those containing quaternary ammonium compounds. Secondary caries occurs around restorations, causing further loss of mineral and breakdown of the restoration. Lesions adjacent to restorations account for more than 40% of needed restorations. Restorative materials with antibacterial properties will potentially solve this problem.
