Taking an ordinary composite restoration to an extraordinary one through the use of bioactive materials allows for the creation of long-term oral health and beautiful restorations. Materials that provide a regenerative environment in which tissues can stabilize and repair while being simple and quick to use is advantageous to every clinician. The restoratives in the Giomer family (Shofu Dental Corp., www.shofu.com) feature a stable glass core coated with an ionomer (SPR-G) lining in a resin matrix. Long-term oral health and restoration longevity are increased due to the predictable antibacterial property features, as this case demonstrates.
