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
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.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES:
Independent testing shows compressive strength, wear, and durability are comparable to leading composites. Fracture resistance is superior to traditional composites, resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGIs), and glass ionomers (GIs).

CALCIUM, FLUORIDE & PHOSPHATE RELEASE/RECHARGE:
The following graphs show the release and recharge of calcium, phosphate and fluoride from four restorative materials. ACTIVA BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE (as well as the rest of the ACTIVA BioACTIVE family) display a continuous release and recharge of these essential minerals, which are naturally occurring in the saliva and are supplemented by dietary sources and release from ACTIVA. This diffusion of ions is only available in materials that can transport water. Traditional hydrophobic materials are passive and do not have the capacity for this dynamic behavior.
