Biosmart Dentistry – A Revelation: A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Various biocompatible materials have been introduced and widely used in many aspects of dental treatment. The smart response of materials occurs when it senses some stimulus from surrounding environment and reacts to it in useful, reproducible and mostly reversible manner. These materials can be altered in a controlled manner by various stimuli such as stress, temperature, moisture, pH and electric or magnetic field. This group of multi-functional materials can possess the capability to select and execute specific functions intelligently in order to respond to changes in the local environment. It can be expected in future that the science of dental materials may change significantly with the introduction of new biosmart-materials which can mimic the biological systems.
