Bioactive Materials for Direct and Indirect Restorations: Concepts and Applications

Currently, minimally invasive restorations could be made in dentistry applying adhesive materials and adhesion principles to the dental structures. Following this philosophy, endodontic interventions have been avoided largely, preserving hard tissues, maintaining vitality. Advances biologically favorable bioactive enabled clinicans induce repair regeneration of tissues. Such are primarily used for pulp protection cementation indirect restorations. This review highlights current available, bioactivity their mechanisms action.
