Abstract

Biomimetic dentistry is an alternative approaching dentistry for dental caries management. It takes the potential advantageous features of maintaining, mimicking and replacing of natural dental tissues (enamel & dentin) in the mouth without using toxic restorative materials. Ultraconservative treatment is recommended for treating cavitated dentin lesions. Thus, Atraumatic Restorative Treatment is the most commonly used technique these days by dental clinicians worldwide. It is intended to both prevent dental caries and also to stop its further progression in the long-term. This short over view will attempt to provide a better understanding of biomimetic dentistry in terms of preventive/conservative approach for carious lesion removal and also to give a clinical perspective for Libyan dental clinicians.
