Abstract

Biomimetics in dentistry applies nature-inspired principles to develop innovative materials and techniques that enhance the effectiveness and durability of dental treatments. This interdisciplinary approach has enabled the creation of biomimetic composites and adhesives that mimic the structure and mechanical properties of enamel and dentin, improving dental regeneration and fixation. Tissue engineering and the use of biomimetic scaffolds have also facilitated dental tissue regeneration and implant osseointegration. This systematic review, based on the PRISMA methodology, analyzes 20 articles published between 2019 and 2024, showing that biomimetics offers effective and sustainable solutions for dental restoration and regeneration. Bioactive and bioinspired biomaterials have also shown potential in the remineralization and osseointegration of dental implants, improving the stability and longevity of restorations. Biomimetics in dentistry is emerging as an interdisciplinary strategy that integrates biology, engineering, and regenerative medicine to develop more biocompatible and effective treatments.
