Dental Biomaterials and Regenerative Dentistry

Dental biomaterials have revolutionized the field of restorative and regenerative dentistry by offering innovative solutions for oral health care. These materials, such as ceramics, composites, and polymers, play a critical role in repairing or replacing damaged teeth and supporting tissue regeneration. Regenerative dentistry focuses on utilizing biomaterials to stimulate the natural healing processes of the body, aiming to restore function and aesthetics to the oral cavity. Biomaterials like stem cell-based scaffolds, growth factor-coated implants, and bioactive glasses are leading the way in regenerative procedures, helping patients recover from tooth loss, gum disease, and other oral conditions. These advances have significantly improved the success rate of dental implants and have made it possible to restore tissues and structures that were once irreparable.
