Described as “truly impressive”, ACTIVA BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE™ is suitable for all classes of restorations. The range includes ACTIVA KIDS specifically for paediatric dentistry and is already highly acclaimed by leading USA paediatric dentists who have successfully used this material for over 10 years.
