Methacrylic acid/Tween 80 engineered amorphous calcium phosphate as an effective bioactive reinforcing nanofillers in dental adhesive.

Bioactive fillers in dental adhesives are designed to release beneficial ions, such as calcium and phosphate, to help in remineralization process, and preventing secondary caries. Their incorporation also aims to improve the longevity of dental restorations. Herein, CaP nanoparticles were synthesized through a water-in-oil emulsion method using Tween80 as a surfactant and methacrylic acid (MAA).
