Biomimetic Materials in Pediatric Dentistry: Innovations that Imitate Nature

Résumé

Biomimetic materials are designed to replicate the natural properties of enamel, dentin, and pulp, offering a biologically friendly approach to dental care. In pediatric dentistry, where developing teeth present unique structural and biological challenges, these materials provide solutions that go beyond repair, aiming to restore natural function and promote tissue regeneration. Glass ionomer cements, calcium silicate-based materials, bioactive composites, and remineralizing agents such as casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate represent key examples of biomimetic innovations currently used in children’s dentistry. Their applications extend from restorative procedures to pulp therapy and preventive care, offering advantages in durability, aesthetics, and biocompatibility. The limitations include higher costs, technique sensitivity, and the limited number of pediatric-focused clinical studies. Future directions highlight the integration of nanotechnology and regenerative approaches that may redefine the scope of minimally invasive pediatric dental care. Overall, biomimetic materials mark a shift from conventional restorative dentistry toward strategies that imitate and support natural biology in young patients.
