Bioactivity of zinc-doped dental adhesives

Conclusions ZnO-doped resin induced Ca and P deposition after SBFS immersion. On ZnCl2-doped resin hopeite formation was detected, if this hopeite may be further converted into apatite, after SBFS immersion, remains to be ascertained. Clinical significance Bonding with ZnO-doped resin may facilitate incorporation of Ca and P at the interfacial bonding zone. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)
