Biomimetic materials in pediatric dentistry- Towards future
Authors
Rajeshwari Baskar, Daya Srinivasan
Abstract
With the advances in technology in dentistry, there is an active search
moving toward biomimetic materials which produce a tooth-like environment
rather than using artificial synthetic substances. In the early days, tooth
structures were replaced by hard substances having similar strength and
mechanical properties like silver amalgams, metal implants, and so on. Now
using biomimicry artificially produced substances mimic the naturally found
tooth structure like enamel dentine and pulpal system. Since the advent of
amalgam, now till regeneration of pulp and stem cell scaffolds are used in the
field of pediatric dentistry to restore the form and function of the teeth.
This essay reviews the use of various biomimetic materials used in preventive,
restorative, pulp capping, pulp therapy, root end closure procedures and future
trends like gene therapy, pulpal stem cells, regenerative procedures, and
bioengineering in pediatric dentistry.
