Abstract
In today’s world, dental and bone defect incidences have become very common, and regenerative treatment has shown very effective results. As such, it might affect the whole quality of life of an individual. Moreover, the present studies show that now, it is possible to heal or treat certain dental diseases by use of some regenerative material and bioactive glass (BAG) is one of them and also is proved to be helpful in various dermatological conditions. Its safety and effectiveness are more as compared to other biomaterials. This review focuses on one of the versatile materials which act as a regenerative therapy as the BAG releases possess antimicrobial properties which release ions and act as a regenerative material. It has many uses in dentistry as such and other fields of medicine and is proven to be very helpful in providing or lessening infections to initiate the remineralization of such structures which might become impossible with the use of others.
