Biomemetic Dentistry in New Jersey

Bio-mimetic dentistry involves the practice of repairing damaged teeth using restorations that replicate the natural tissues (such as enamel, dentin, bone, cementum, etc.) in terms of appearance, function, and strength. A secondary objective of this approach is to create restorative materials that restore the biomechanics of the original tooth. Biomimetics has been extensively studied at the molecular level to promote the healing of wounds and the regeneration of both soft and hard tissues. On a larger scale, the preservation of the biomechanical, structural, and aesthetic integrity of teeth can be achieved using various biomimetic restorative materials. Material scientists often use natural teeth as a model when developing these dental restorative materials.

The growing trend of biomimetic methods in dentistry is being applied in a variety of ways, including restoring tooth defects with bioinspired analogs for remineralization, using bioactive and biomimetic materials, and employing tissue engineering techniques for regeneration.
