Antibacterial and protein-repellent dental composite for prevention of secondary caries
نویسنده
چکیده
Received: January 03, 2017; Accepted: January 11, 2017; Published: January 14, 2017 Biofilm acids lead to secondary caries, which is a main reason for dental restoration failures. Incorporation both protein-repellent and antibacterial agents into dental composite resulted in a much greater inhibition in biofilm activity. This new class of bioactive dental composite with antibacterial and protein-repellent properties is promising to prevent tooth decays and inhibit recurrent caries.

Do Dental Resin Composites Accumulate More Oral Biofilms and Plaque than Amalgam and Glass Ionomer Materials?
A long-time drawback of dental composites is that they accumulate more biofilms and plaques than amalgam and glass ionomer restorative materials. It would be highly desirable to develop a new composite with reduced biofilm growth, while avoiding the non-esthetics of amalgam and low strength of glass ionomer. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a protein-repellent composite with re...
