Why does biocompatibility matter?
Many traditional products and materials consist of components that have proven to cause reactivity in the body. But what is reactivity? Simply put, reactivity is a measure of how readily a substance can undergo a chemical reaction and have an impact on the hosts susceptibility. When planning for optimal outcomes, it is pertinent to know what the most biocompatible, or “body friendly”, materials are that can be placed and support the body.
Biocompatibility or “body friendly” refers to the use of non-toxic materials used in your dental care. This s so important to ensure that the materials used in dentistry will not result in a systemic reaction other places in the body.
