Contemporary caries management philosophy has changed from the traditional surgical approach to a medical model. This often includes dietary analysis and advice, oral hygiene instruction, placement of fissure sealants, and the use of bioactive materials including fluoride therapy, calcium phosphate products, peptides and antimicrobial agents. Bioactive parts of the materials interact in a positive way with the oral environment and promote caries management.
In recent years, there has been a great deal of emerging research in bioactive materials in caries. This research topic is a dedicated platform to consolidate bioactive materials-related research and identify new potential strategies in caries management.
Studies related to bioactive materials including fluoride, calcium phosphate products, peptides, antimicrobial agents, remineralizing agents on caries management.
Both laboratory studies and clinical trials which relate to aforementioned bioactive materials in caries management are welcome.
