Placements of dental resins often result in recurrent caries (cavities) and have higher failure rates compared to amalgam.  Newly developed dental materials that have excellent strength and durability, as well as anticariogenic activity should make resin composites a durable alternative to amalgam. Thus, the addition of visible light activated nanoparticles into novel resin formulations may improve the physical and antibacterial performance of dental resins.
