Sažetak
Self-regeneration of once lost hard dental structures is impossible. Therefore, in the light of minimally invasive dentistry, their preservation is essential. However, the removal of caries affected hard dental tissues leaves the demineralized dentin, which is not sterile. In a quest for an ideal restorative material that simultaneously rebuilds the lost minerals and suppresses bacteria in a tooth cavity, we have developed a series of remineralizing composite materials with antibacterial properties. Bioactive nano-glass with mesoporous structure is responsible for their properties. A porous structure enables infiltration with copper ions, whose antibacterial properties are well known. At the same time, resin infiltration and interlocking on a nano-scale reinforce their mechanical integrity. This lecture will present an overview of our research on resin composites with antimicrobial mesoporous bioactive glass and propose guidelines for future investigations.
