Abstract：
Biomimetics is a branch of science that explores the technical beauty of nature. The concept of biomimetics has been brilliantly applied in famous applications such as the design of the Eiffel Tower that has been inspired from the trabecular structure of bone. In dentistry, the purpose of using biomimetic concepts and protocols is to conserve tooth structure and vitality, increase the longevity of restorative dental treatments, and eliminate future retreatment cycles. Biomimetic dental materials are inherently biocompatible with excellent physico-chemical properties. They have been successfully applied in different dental fields with the advantages of enhanced strength, sealing, regenerative and antibacterial abilities. Moreover, many biomimetic materials were proven to overcome significant limitations of earlier available generation counterpart. Therefore, this review aims to spot the light on some recent developments in the emerging field of biomimetics especially in restorative and regenerative dentistry. Different approaches of restoration, remineralisation and regeneration of teeth are also discussed in this review. In addition, various biomimetic dental restorative materials and tissue engineering materials are discussed.
摘要：
仿生学是探索自然技术之美的科学分支。仿生学的概念已被出色地应用于著名的应用，例如埃菲尔铁塔的设计，其灵感来自骨骼的小梁结构。在牙科，使用仿生概念和协议的目的是保持牙齿结构和活力，增加修复性牙科治疗的寿命，并消除未来的再治疗周期。仿生牙科材料固有地具有优异的物理化学性质的生物相容性。它们已成功应用于不同的牙科领域，具有增强强度的优点，密封,再生和抗菌能力。此外，许多仿生材料被证明克服了早期可用对应物的显著限制。因此,这篇综述旨在揭示新兴的仿生药物领域的一些最新进展，特别是在修复和再生牙科领域。不同的修复方法，本综述还讨论了牙齿的再矿化和再生。此外,讨论了各种仿生牙科修复材料和组织工程材料。
