| Summary of the Course | Traditional restorative principles involves removal of sound tooth structure for better mechanical properties, which in turn do not align with the biology (pulp survival), function and mechanics of natural teeth. In the “biomimetic approach,” traditional caries removal principles and newer bonding technique are used to return the dental tissues (enamel & dentin) to full function, allowing functional stresses to pass through the tooth and returning the damaged tooth to a functional, biologic, and esthetic result. Biomimetic restorations include stress-reduced direct composite restorations and porcelain/composite inlays and onlays that restore the biomechanics of broken and damaged teeth. Traditional approaches to treating damaged and decayed teeth require more aggressive preparation to place a “strong”, stiff restoration. The emphasis is on the strength of the restoration, but no attention is placed into the function and biomechanics of final restored tooth. By ignoring this critical aspect, it is no surprise that complications such as root canals occur more frequently and future treatment becomes progressively more aggressive and invasive. So begins the restorative dental cycle in which the teeth are ultimately lost from successive treatments. With Biomimetic dentistry, only the damage and decay is removed from the teeth, and the final restoration is bonded to the remaining healthy natural tooth structure. These bonded restorations function and behave “Biomimetically” and break the restorative dental cycle. |
