Biomimetic Aspects of Restorative Dentistry Biomaterials Biomimetic Materials in Pediatric Dentistry

BIOMIMETIC materials can be considered as boon to dentistry because of its regeneration potential. Thus in the near future it can be envisioned that there will be better alternatives in the field of restorative dentistry in the form of bioactive and biomimetic materials. New mechanisms for adhesion, integration, and sealing of dentin are in the works using bioactive and biomimetic technologies. These materials will behave more like natural teeth and will change the way we think about restoring teeth. The practice of pediatric dentists has grown by leap and bounds in the past few decades. Replacement of diseased or lost tooth structure with biocompatible restorative materials is currently the order of today but each of these procedures does have their own limitations and drawbacks.
