What is Biomimetic Dentistry?
from Six Lessons Approach Podcast by Dr. David Alleman · host Dr. David Alleman
Biomimetic dentistry can be defined by three main principles: preserve pulp vitality, conserve critical tooth structure and fully connect the tooth at 30 MPa or more. Mimicking nature (biomimetic) is about scientific analysis of how natural teeth function and replicating those principles during the restorative process. This isn’t art; this is science. In this episode Dr. David Alleman discusses the research behind understanding how a natural tooth functions and how practitioners can replicate that to improve clinical outcomes with biomimetic restorative dentistry.Article referenced in this episodeWang RZ, Weiner S.
