Abstract

Biomimetism originates from Greek and in dentistry it establishes principles and techniques that aim to protect the natural structure of the tooth, seeking to imitate the properties of enamel and dentin to restore teeth in a natural and functional, understanding the natural tooth in its entirety. Furthermore, biomimetism requires minimally invasive techniques, with the aim of preserving tooth structure, seeking dental aesthetics and the use of adhesive materials. This approach is constantly evolving, so the objective of this study was to review on the literature the main aspects that characterize the biomimetism in restorative dentistry, involving dental materials, such as resins and adhesive systems, as well as stress reduction and maximum adhesion protocols to the dental substrate. The use of biomimetic materials and restorative protocols that seek to reduce the stress of polymerization contraction and achieve maximum adhesion are the main focuses of study within biomimetic restorative dentistry. This has been achieved with advances in the development of adhesive systems, protocols and different application techniques, for example. The use of minimally invasive in biomimetic techniques may help reduce pain and discomfort during care, with less traumatic interventions and longer-lasting results.
