Biomimetics is the process of restoring weak, fractured and decayed teeth using the latest materials and technology.
Biomimetic dentistry mimics the teeth’s natural look and functionality. The word ‘biomimetics’ itself, can be translated to mean ‘copy what is life-like’.
At the forefront of the rise in use of biomimetic dental science is vVARDIS, the brand behind the popular Curodont Repair and Curodont Protect biomimetic system.
Traditional dentistry has relied heavily on invasive procedures such as fillings and teeth reduction, which while saving teeth can also lead to bacterial infections and fractures.
Biomimetic dentistry instead uses minimally invasive techniques to fix damaged teeth whilst keeping as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
Other advantages of biomimetic dental procedures are known to include:
vVARDIS offers innovative, biomimetic dental solutions for professionals, including Curodont™ Repair for non-invasive early caries treatment.
Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus from vVARDIS is an example of a biomimetic system that ticks all these boxes. Curodont Repair has been used in over 200,000 dental procedures worldwide and counting.
It’s sister product, Curodont Protect, is an anti-cavity & anti-sensitivity gel suitable for all patients aged 6 and over.
A simple definition of CAD/CAM dentistry is the use of digital software to design and manufacture dental restorations and prostheses. CAD stands for computer-aided design and CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing. The technology can be used to create crowns, dentures, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers among other things. The speed of the CAD/CAM process allows for dental prosthetics to be designed, manufactured and delivered to the patient in quick time, sometimes the same day. The wider system of using computer assisted technologies to produce restorations is known as CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Aesthetic Ceramics).
