Abstract 12811: Lipid-Altering Efficacy and Safety Profile of Co-Administered Extended Release Niacin/Laropiprant and Simvastatin Versus Atorvastatin in Patients With Mixed Hyperlipidemia
To review advanced bioactive materials capable of promoting dentin remineralization and providing antibacterial activity against dental caries.
Narrative review synthesizing evidence on biomaterial interactions with damaged tooth structures.
Evaluation of agents including fluoride, amorphous calcium phosphate, bioactive glass, collagen, and resin-based composites for bacterial inhibition and remineralization potential.
Bioactive materials suppress biofilm accumulation, arrest demineralization, and deliver ions necessary to rebuild damaged dentin.
Fluoride effectively aids remineralization but requires strict dosage control, while amorphous calcium phosphate releases calcium and phosphate ions yet lacks sufficient mechanical strength for mastication.
Engineered resin-based systems and bioactive glass offer customizable structural and antimicrobial advantages to prevent recurrent decay around dental restorations.
