DENTAL COMPOSITES COMPRISING NANOPARTICLES OF AMORPHOUS CALCIUM PHOSPHATE

摘要

Described herein are dental composites comprising amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles and methods of making and using the same. The dental composites display increased Ca and PO4 release, improved mechanical properties, and improved antibacterial properties. Anti-bacterial agents, such as quaternary ammonium salts or silver-containing nanoparticles may be included in the composites.
