What is biomimetic dentistry?
Biomimetic dentistry treats weak, fractured,
and decayed teeth in a way that keeps them strong and seals them
from bacterial invasion. Careful sealing against infection removes
the need for 60% to 90% of the crowns and root canals of traditional
dentistry.
What is wrong with traditional
dentistry?
Traditional dental techniques haven't taken
advantage of the advanced ceramics and adhesives developed by modern
engineering. These new technologies allow dentists to use small onlays that work more like your own teeth than the large porcelain
crowns used in traditional dentistry. Old techniques can cause your
teeth to eventually crack and leak, allowing bacteria to rot your
teeth away from the inside. Biomimetic dentistry locks out the
bacteria, for safer, more durable dental work.
Who invented biomimetic dentistry?
The principles of biomimetic dentistry were
developed by researchers at prestigious universities in Japan,
Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Italy, Turkey, The United
States, and many other countries.
Groundbreaking work by Gary Unterbrink, Didier Dietschi, Pascal
Magne, Urs Belser, and J-F Roulet in Europe, and Ray Bertolotti,
John Kois, and
John Kanca III in the United States, have promoted these advanced
adhesive dentistry techniques for the past 25 years. Dr. Alleman and
Dr. Deliperi have refined biomimetic techniques for more than 12 years
and have seen a dramatic improvement in their patients' dental health.
What's different about biomimetic
dentistry?
Instead of simply filling cavities as though
they were potholes, biomimetic dentistry keeps the patient's
long-term dental health in focus. By using advanced adhesive
techniques and properly fashioned onlays, dentists can make sure
that dental work will fail in a repairable way, before your teeth
suffer any biological failure. By sealing the tooth against
infection and bonding the tooth strongly to prevent fracture, biomimetic dentists make sure they don't make dental
problems any more serious than they already are.
