Innovative Enhancement of Dental Sealants with Calcium Phosphate and Bioactive Glass

Posted: January 18, 2025
This study developed resin-based dental sealants with enhanced elemental release and antibacterial properties using monocalcium phosphate monohydrate, bioactive glass, and polylysine. The experimental sealants demonstrated high cell viability, reduced S. mutans biofilm formation, and increased Ca and P release compared to a commercial product. Despite minimal effects on material properties with increased additive concentrations, the new sealants maintained physical and mechanical strength, making them a promising innovation for dental professionals in improving patient care.
