Biomimetic Occlusion in Restorative Dentistry

Biomimetic dentistry aims to mimic a natural tooth throughout the restorative process. The last four decades of research has shown that mimicking and conserving a tooth’s natural connection to itself, its natural bond and resilience to occlusal forces and its natural defense mechanisms for infection benefits the tooth’s long-term health. This is also true for occlusion.In this episode, Dr. David Alleman discusses what all dentists can learn from a body’s natural occlusion, lost research from the last few decades and approaches for daily occlusal techniques that can be applied to cases doctors regularly see in their office.Articles referenced in this episode:Michael C.
