Abstract

The purpose of this scoping review was to present the published successful techniques and strategies for biomimetic remineralization of human dentin. Studies whose primary objective was to present the strategy of successful dentin biomimetic remineralization were included. No language, participant age, or time restrictions were set. Stud-ies were retrieved via CENTRAL, LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, SCOPUS and Web of Science. Gray literature searches on Google Scholar and OpenGrey were also conducted to find additional references. Based on the main research objectives, articles were classified by technique according to the methodology used for the research. One hundred forty-five articles, published be-tween 2003 and 2019, were included in the final scoping review. Protocols that imitate dentin's natural mineralization seek to restore lost minerals in dental tissues. Biomimetic remineralization proposes different ways to replace demineralized collagen in dentin by using inorganic materials like natural minerals, with the primary purpose of optimizing the clinical longevity of restorations and improving dental treatment.
