Dental Biomaterials & Bioengineering

Dental Biomaterials and Bioengineering are fields that focus on the development and application of materials and technologies designed to restore or replace damaged or missing teeth, as well as enhance the overall function and aesthetics of the oral cavity. Dental biomaterials are specially designed materials used in dentistry to restore, replace, or enhance the function and appearance of teeth and oral structures. These materials are carefully engineered to mimic the natural properties of teeth, ensuring durability, biocompatibility, and safety for patients. Dental biomaterials play a crucial role in a wide range of dental procedures, including fillings, crowns, implants, and tissue repair.

Dental bioengineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, engineering, and dentistry to develop innovative solutions for improving dental care and oral health. It focuses on creating advanced technologies, materials, and techniques that enhance the diagnosis, treatment, and overall dental experience for patients.

Key areas of dental bioengineering include:

• Tissue engineering
• Regenerative dentistry
• 3D printing
• Smart materials
• Biomimetic dentistry
