ESTHETIC RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY: A
BIO-MIMETIC APPROACH
T
he advent of esthetic dental restorative materials provided alternative
treatment modalities and materials to traditional metal/alloy-based
restorations and crown/bridgematerials. The progression of research and
development lead to a spectrum of restorative and prosthodontic ma-
terials, ranging from acrylics, silicates, ionomers/compomers, reinforced
porcelains, reinforced ceramics and composites: Macrofilled, microfilled,
small-particles, hybrids, micro-hybrids and nano-filled. These composites
all share amorphous/vitreous-glassy-polymer matrices that due to their
brittle nature are fit and limited to conservative anterior and limited pos-
terior fillings at 1/3 cuspal-incline. Hence, the progressive development
of a Biomimetic engineered poly crystalline nano ceram dental restor-
ative (PEX), metal-free prosthodontic and implant superstructures (Di-
amond Crown/Lite/Flow/Link/Bond). This PEX matrix, provides a dense
microelastic/macrorigid micro-morphology lamellar structure, that man-
ifests high-performance physico-mechanical properties: Biaxial-flexur-
al-strength, diametral-tensile-compressive-strength, fracture toughness,
wear resistance, maintenance of anatomical form/function/texture, color
stability, marginal integrity. These physico-mechanical and esthetic attri-
butes most similar to natural tooth structure (Bio-Mimetic Engineered)
are coupled with tissue-compatibility, biocompatibility, non-cytotoxic
properties: US-Pharmacopeia Class VI (L929-fibroblast cell cultures cy-
totoxicity, etc. all rated scale 0-5: Zero(0) Reactivity. These favorable hi-
tech/performance functional-esthetic-biocompatible properties of the
