I am thinking of getting a crown made of an indirect composite and the ad states it is 300% more radiopaque than many others. Does that mean it is more radioactive? I believe it has barium in it. Is that radioactive?
Radiopaque is a combination of "radio" and "opaque". It means X rays won’t pass through it.
