Dental Composite Formulation Design with Bioactivity on Protein Adsorption Combined with Crack-Healing Capability

Fracture and secondary caries are the primary reasons for the failure of dental restorations. To face this omnipresent problem, we report the formulation design and synthesis of a protein-resistant dental composite composed of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) that also can self-repair...
