Abstract

The success of the regenerative and the restorative procedure largely depends on how well the material biologically interacts with the oral environment. This review article explores the bio-interaction of various dental materials and classifies them based on their biological behaviour ranging from biomimetic to bioinert. It is tailored in such a way to give more importance to the materials which have high potential to replicate the natural architecture of the tooth. It emphasizes on the underlying mechanism of action including mineralization, ion release, and cell differentiation potential. It also highlights the physical and biological properties of biomimetic reinforcement; as well as bio-smart materials and their potential to respond to changes like pH, temperature and magnetic field. A deeper understanding of these biological interactions is essential for optimizing clinical performance and guiding future developments in creating materials which maintains the biological harmony in the field of regenerative and restorative dentistry.
