Biomimetic Dentistry: A Review
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Nature is our ideal model to imitate which also serves as a source for bio-inspiration. Thorough observation of various dynamics of nature allows in successful replication of these bioinspired material through the application of technological engineering. Biomimetics translated literally means (bios: life, and mimetic: to imitate). The art and science of designing and building biomimetic apparatus is termed as biomimicry because they mimic biological systems. Biomimetic materials have evolved over the past decade by the use of relatively specialized technology that applies the science behind mimicry of biological tissues for expanded use in restorative dentistry. The objective of this review is to understand the concept of biomimetic materials while shedding light on the applications for this rapidly evolving and exceptionally promising field of dentistry.
