Dental Biomaterials: Advancing Modern Oral Care
Dental biomaterials are specialized substances used in restorative, cosmetic, and regenerative dentistry to repair or replace damaged teeth and oral tissues. These materials include ceramics, composites, polymers, and metals designed to interact safely with biological systems while providing durability, aesthetics, and functionality.
Modern dental biomaterials have evolved from basic metallic fillings to advanced bioactive and nanostructured materials that promote tissue regeneration and prevent bacterial growth. Their applications span dental implants, crowns, bridges, adhesives, and bone graft substitutes. The use of biocompatible materials ensures long-term oral health and minimizes complications such as inflammation or allergic reactions.
