Abstract

With the arrival of advanced technology, numerous changes have been made in the field of restorative dentistry in the last few decades. Biomimetic materials, with their biocompatible nature and excellent physicochemical properties, have demonstrated the ability to prevail over some of the significant limitations of previous generation materials. They can function as long-lasting esthetic and restorative materials, cements, root repair materials, root canal sealers, filling and regenerative materials which have superior biocompatibility, high strength, sealing ability and antibacterial properties when compared to other parallel materials. Hence, their application has become indispensable. This essay reviews the various biomimetic materials available from the past to the future and their biological properties in the field of paediatric restorative dentistry and endodontics.
