in the formation of bond between the material and the tissue. These materials act directly on the vital tissue inducing growth factors and favouring cellular activity thereby aiding in regeneration, repair and reconstruction.Bioactive materials cover a wide range of clinical applications like drug-delivery vehicles (e.g., for antibiotics and growth factors), scaffolds in pulp tissue engineering, minimal invasive and intervention treatments in operative dentistry and good alternatives in endodontics as root canal fillers, root end filling materials and intra canal medicaments. The material science is basically a combination of interdisciplinary approach that involves nanotechnology, bioengineering, and biotechnology. Bioactive materials have also become the most popular area of research with plenty of hopes on improving the health care of dental patients.
