Therapeutically multifunctional adhesive systems using copper doped bioactive glass nanoparticles. Schematically illustrated the multifunctional roles of Ca and Cu ions delivered through nanoparticles (CuBGn) in adhesive resin. The co-delivery of Ca and Cu ions respectively accelerate remineralization and MMP deactivation in demineralized dentin, and ultimately extend the longevity of resin-dentin interfaces dentin regeneration. TEM images (right images) of CuBGn with EDS results (insert, n = 3) confirming the designated composition of nanoparticles.
