“…Its powder consists of a basic reagent (zinc oxide, 90%) and a retarding agent (magnesium oxide, 10%), while the liquid contains orthophosphoric acid, water and metal salts (105). An ionic reaction occurs between orthophosphoric acid and zinc oxide after manipulation, forming an amorphous mass with a low pH (106). However, due to its high solubility, an effective link between zinc phosphate cement and dentin is not achieved, leading to the chemical dissolution of the cement, followed by microleakage and an increased risk of recurrent caries (107,108).…”

Currently, minimally invasive restorations could be made in dentistry applying adhesive materials and adhesion principles to the dental structures. Following this philosophy, endodontic interventions have been avoided largely, preserving hard tissues, and maintaining dental vitality. Advances in biologically favorable bioactive materials enabled clinicans to induce repair and regeneration of dental tissues. Such materials are primarily used for pulp protection and cementation of indirect restorations. This review highlights current bioactive materials available, principles of bioactivity and their mechanisms of action.
