N2  - Bioactive glass's most well-known capacity is its bonding ability to bone and promoting bone development. The bioactive glass may mineralize dentine tubules for sensitive teeth to provide relief and prevent caries. Bioactive glass is an emerging therapy for regenerating damaged bone tissue after injury or illness. Its usefulness in the medical profession has led to its implementation in several areas. In 1969, a silicate glass made of sodium, calcium, and phosphorus was the first bioactive glass on the marketUsing the databases PubMed, Medline, and ScienceDirect, a comprehensive review of the literature spanning 2011 to 2022 was conducted. The keywords used were "bioactive glass" and "caries remineralization". 8 studies were included in this systematic review. However, most of them revealed that bioactive glass could not provide enough remineralization, especially when compared to fluoride. Although bioactive glass has shown encouraging signs of remineralization, its effectiveness is not to the standard produced by fluorides. Hence, there is a need to conduct further studies to reassure the importance of bioactive glass as a good replacement for fluoride.
