Restorative dental materials are used to prevent or repair damage to teeth caused by oral disease or trauma. Though the currently available restorative materials like glass ionomer cements, resin restorations etc. may serve the purpose of restoring the form and function of the tooth, however they lack the bioactivity. Secondary caries caused by polymerization shrinkage and micro leakage are other major contributing factors for the failure of restorations.

“Good bonds, but longevity questionable due to leakage from gap and/or deterioration of interface result in:
    • Setting shrinkage creating a gap
    • Lack of chemical bonding
    • Insufficient permeation of collagen by resin
    • Hydrolytic or enzymatic degradation of collagen/hybrid layer
Since bioactive glasses promote formation of apatite in aqueous calcium and phosphate containing environments, their presence at the interface with a strong bond.
