Mechanical properties and Biological behavior of bioactive glass in restorative dentistry

Generally recent bioactive glasses are finding increasing applications in dentistry due to their potential of hard tissue remineralization stimulation. New compositions of bioactive glasses incorporating specific ions added in polymers will be the most important direction for future restorative dentistry researches. Until now, it shows weaker mechanical properties than commercially available restorative materials. Studying of new compositions for enhancing their mechanical properties with bioactivity maintaining is a big challenge in restorative dentistry.
