Abstract

Bioactive restorative materials are the latest and the newest subjects of extensive studies and research in dentistry. It is not synonymous with biocompatible restorative materials. In the older times, research on biocompatibility was very much on the high, but in the recent times, research on bioactivity of restorative materials is on the rise. The interaction between dental pulp and these materials, its regeneration and healing are the major areas of interest.
