Bioactive glass may help prolong the life of teeth fillings, researchers said. (Representational Image) New York: Bioactive glass can be used in tooth fillings to reduce the ability of bacteria to ...

Bioactive glass tooth fillings prevent tooth decay by fighting off harmful bacteria, scientists revealed. The material has been used to help bones heal for decades, scientists said. It is a type of ...

The fillings of the future could be bioactive glass, according to engineers at Oregon State University. The futuristic-sounding bioactive glass is a crushed glass containing compounds such as silicon ...

You might think that with today's composite dental fillings, once you get a tooth filled, it's good for life. According to the University of Oregon's Prof. Jamie Kruzic, however, "almost all fillings ...

A few years from now millions of people around the world might be walking around with an unusual kind of glass in their mouth, and using it every time they eat. Engineers have made some promising ...

Engineers at Oregon State University have made some promising findings about the ability of "bioactive" glass. A few years from now millions of people around the world might be walking around with an ...

Bioactive glass can be used in tooth fillings to reduce the ability of bacteria to attack composite tooth fillings, and perhaps even provide some of the minerals needed to replace those lost to tooth ...

In recent times, the potential toxicity of amalgam (silver fillings) has become an increasing concern among people, who also increasingly prefer less conspicuous fillings. As a result, composite ...

“Bioactive glass, which is a type of crushed glass that is able to interact with the body, has been used in some types of bone healing for decades,” said lead researcher professor Jamie Kruzic. “This ...

Researchers predict that people may soon wear tooth fillings that incorporate an unusual type of glass. In a new study, researchers from Oregon State University (OSU) found that bioactive glass may ...
