What is it about?
Background: Dental caries is a highly prevalent oral disease globally, leading to significant restorative challenges. Bioactive dental materials have emerged as advanced restorative solutions combining mechanical strength, antibacterial properties and ion releasing ability (especially fluoride).

Why is it important?
These materials, including glass ionomer cements (GICs), resin-modified GICs (RMGIs), high-viscosity GICs (HVGICs), compomers, giomers, alkasite composites, and bioactive composites (ACTIVA), aim to restore teeth while preventing secondary caries.
Perspectives
The most prevalent oral illness in the world is still dental caries [1]. Dental caries, often known as decay, is a condition that affects the hard tissues of the teeth and has a complex origin.
