Supporting data for "Aspects of bioactive glass in dental resin composites"

The files contain the data on the physical, mechanical properties, mineralization ability, <em>in vitro</em> biocompatibility, and antibacterial activities on biofilms formation of low quantities (0.0, 1.9, 3.8, and 7.7 vol%) of BAG-loaded resin composites. The surface nanohardness of specimens was evaluated by AFM. Compressive strength, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and biaxial flexural strength were evaluated using a universal testing machine. Water sorption and water solubility of resin composites were also evaluated. The mineralization ability, including elemental (Ca, P, and Si) concentration measured by ICP-OES, pH changes analyzed by pH meteral, and apatite formation assessed using SEM, XRD and FTIR, was also assessed. In addition, <em>in vitro</em> biocompatibility of resin composites, including cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and cell differentiation, was evaluated using live/dead cell staining, CCK-8 kit, ALP assay, and CLSM. Finally, the bacterial viability in <em>S. mutans</em> biofilms was analysed via XTT-assay, CFU counting, live/dead bacterial staining. The antibacteria activities on biofilm structure, biofilm thickenss and cell viability throughout biofilm depth were also assessed.
