Dental 4 Less, Tooth fillings of the future may incorporate bioactive glass
Engineers at Oregon State University have made some promising findings about the ability of “bioactive” glass to help reduce the ability of bacteria to attack composite tooth fillings – and perhaps even provide some of the minerals needed to replace those lost to tooth decay.
The new research was just published in the journal Dental Materials, in work supported by the National Institutes of Health.
