Biomimetic Materials in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics

Bys: M. G., Kavana, Kini, Annapoorna, Vinaychandra, R.

Biomimetic materials have revolutionized the field of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics. By drawing inspiration from nature, these materials have provided numerous advantages, ultimately benefiting both patients and practitioners. In Conservative Dentistry, biomimetic materials have allowed for minimally invasive procedures. Their ability to mimic natural tooth structure, both in terms of appearance and function, has resulted in restorations that blend seamlessly with the patient's dentition. This aesthetic advantage, coupled with improved bonding techniques, ensures long-lasting, durable fillings. Furthermore, biomimetic materials exhibit properties similar to natural enamel, such as flexural strength and wear resistance, reducing the risk of fractures and enhancing the tooth's longevity. In Endodontics, biomimetic materials have contributed to the success of root canal treatments. Bioactive materials, for instance, can facilitate the repair of dentin and promote the formation of hydroxyapatite, enhancing the sealing and regenerative capabilities of root canal fillings.
