It is one of a number of biologically oriented strategies for managing dental decay . The technique has an evidence-base showing that it is acceptable to children ...
The process is repeatable up to the point of element depletion, distinguishing MAX phases from other self-healing materials that require external healing agents (extrinsic healing) for single crack gap filling. Depending on the filling-oxide, improvement of the initial properties such as local strength can be achieved.
