WATERTOWN, Mass.—An in-depth user guide for ACTIVA BioACTIVE products has been placed on the Pulpdent websites: Pulpdent.com and Activabioactive.com.

The user guide provides pertinent information including the definition of bioactive materials, ACTIVA’s chemical and physical properties, the clinical use of the materials, why it is better for the patient, technical tips, and a bibliography of the extensive research on the products.

“We are hearing from dentists every day,” said Fred Berk, Pulpdent vice president. “They are thrilled with what they are experiencing with ACTIVA, and they want to know more about the novel materials. The user guide compiles information on the benefits of ACTIVA BioACTIVE materials, their clinical use, and what we have learned from our years of clinical evaluation and research.”

ACTIVA launches a new era of esthetic, durable, bioactive restorative materials that play a dynamic role in the mouth. It has the strength and esthetics of composites, and releases and recharges more calcium, phosphate and fluoride than glass ionomers.

ACTIVA stimulates the natural remineralization process and mineral apatite formation that penetrates and fills micro-gaps, knits together the restoration and the tooth, guards against recurrent caries, and seals against Microleakage and failure. 

ACTIVA contains a bioactive resin matrix, a shock-absorbing rubberized resin component, and bioactive glass fillers that mimic the physical and chemical properties of natural teeth. ACTIVA’s rubberized resin component is more durable and fracture resistant than composites. It contains no Bisphenol A, no Bis-GMA and no BPA derivatives. 

ACTIVA BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE, ACTIVA KIDS, and ACTIVA BASE/LINER are two-part, light cure and self-cure materials packaged in 5mL, double barrel, automix syringes. The restorative is available in A1, A2, A3 and A3.5 shades, and the base/liner is dentin shade. ACTIVA KIDS BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE is an opaque white shade.
