Key Features:
Tough, resilient, resists chipping and crumbling
Releases and recharges calcium, phosphate and fluoride
Chemically bonds – Seals against microleakage
No sensitivity
Moisture friendly – Simplified technique
Description:
ACTIVA BioACTIVE-BASE/LINER delivers all the advantages of glass ionomers in a strong, resilient resin matrix that will not chip or crumble. It chemically bonds to teeth, seals against microleakage and releases calcium, phosphate and fluoride. It is more bioactive than glass ionomers, and is more durable and fracture resistant than composites, glass ionomers and RMGIs. 1,2,3,4,5,17,18
ACTIVA is the first bioactive base/liner with an ionic resin matrix, a shock-absorbing resin component and bioactive fillers that mimic the physical and chemical properties of natural teeth. It releases and recharges with calcium, phosphate and fluoride ions,1,7,11 delivering long-term benefits and better oral health care for your patients.
ACTIVA contains no Bisphenol A, No Bis-GMA and no BPA derivatives.
