Direct from the Operatory: Bioactive Restoration of Decayed Wisdom Tooth

By Dr. Oliver Mayoral

A new patient presented with root caries on the buccal and distal aspects of tooth #1 (Figure 1). His dentist of many years recommended an extraction, and the patient came to me for a second opinion. There is an opposing third molar, so this tooth is functional, although gaining access to restore the distal can be a challenge.

The tooth was prepared (Figure 2) and etched, followed by an application of Scotchbond Universal Adhesive (3M) and placement of ACTIVA BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE. The ACTIVA BioACTIVE syringe has a bendable metal cannula, and this made it easy to access the distal of the third molar, which otherwise would have been much more difficult to treat. The material adapted well to the tooth and polished nicely, providing a very good result.
