Dental Materials: Need to consider the other side
Journal Title: IP Annals of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
In the past few decades, there has been an increase in demand for safety evaluation and control of dental materials used daily in dentistry; however, this task is difficult. Dental materials that are passive and do not react with the oral environment will be more stable and have superior durability. It is expected that dental materials will be universally accepted and will not cause harm or injury to the surrounding structures in the oral cavity. This is an entirely negative approach to the material tolerance and biocompatibility, and hides the possibility that some positive gains can be achieved, with the long history of use of many materials in dentistry. It is important, however, not to forget that the potential exists for adverse tissue responses to synthetic materials used in repair, augmentation, and repair of natural tissue structures. As new materials and repair techniques become available and the sophistication of cell-level and sub-cellular response evaluations increases, the concerns to be addressed and the methods to be used may change. Side-effects of dental materials are believed to be rare, and generally, those that have been reported are mild. But there is a need to think the other side.
