Introduction
• Improving dental material’s basic properties as mechanical, physical,
and bonding properties has contributed to the restoration of ideal
anatomical form and function with less removal of the tooth structure
facilitating the combination of both aesthetic restorative treatment
and minimal intervention dentistry.
• Innovation of restorative materials could be directed toward a new
dimension which is the development of materials with bioactive
functions to provide therapeutic effects.
• Differentiation between the following terms is extremely helpful in
understanding the concept of bioactive restorative materials:
• Bioinductive property: the ability of a bioactive material to induce a
response in a biological system.
• Bioactive material: It is a material that can stimulate living tissues,
organisms, or cells to produce a response such as the induction of
hydroxyapatite formation.
• Biomaterial: any material, surface, or construct that can interact with
biological systems such as dental implants and heart prosthetic
valves.
• Biomimetics: it is the synthesis of materials that mimic natural
structures through artificial mechanisms. (This requires the study of
the formation, structure, and function of natural products in addition
to the biological mechanisms such as protein synthesis).
Discussion:
- Calcium Hydroxide:
• CH has long been regarded as the gold standard of pulp capping
material because of its: Biocompatibility, high pH, antibacterial effect,
ability to form new dentine bridge at exposure site.
- MTA:
• MTA has a higher rate of clinical success and can result in dentin-bridge
formation that is much thicker.
Conclusion:
• Bioactive restorative material is a biomaterial with a Bioinductive
property.
