Pulpdent Receives 2018 Dental Advisor Award for ACTIVA BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE

ACTIVA BioACTIVE responds to pH changes in the oral environment by releasing and recharging calcium, phosphate and fluoride. This unique chemistry supports the natural remineralization process and helps form a seal between the material and the tooth. Unlike traditional composites, which are generally hydrophobic and brittle, ACTIVA BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE contains a shock-absorbing rubberized resin that resists chipping and wear. Dentist evaluators found that "the esthetics were excellent at 2 years."

"To be considered for an award, products must receive an excellent rating by THE DENTAL ADVISOR, as well as stand out from all others in the market place," said Dr. Sabiha Bunek, The Dental Advisor's Editor-in-Chief. ACTIVA BioACTIVE responds to pH cycles and an evaluator for THE DENTAL ADVISOR noted that "the uptake of Calcium, Phosphate and Fluoride could have a positive effect."
