Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Vallittu et al discuss bioactive dental materials and bioactivity. They mention the use of biomaterials in dental reconstruction and the broad meaning of bioactivity, which is described by having a biological effect and can form a bond between tissues and the materials. They also cites the need to limit the use for the term bioactive and biomineralization to scientifically proven materials and material combinations.
