Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioinspired mineralization is a promising approach in dental research, offering innovative strategies to address challenges such as enamel repair, dentin regeneration, and caries prevention. Inspired by the natural biomineralization processes found in teeth, the research in this field focuses on developing materials and methods that mimic the hierarchical structure and mechanical properties of dental tissues. For instance, the use of nanomaterials and controlled ion delivery systems has shown potential in promoting remineralization and enhancing the durability of restorations. By leveraging insights from biology, bioinspired mineralization aims to create sustainable and biocompatible solutions, advancing restorative dentistry and improving long-term oral health outcomes. This interdisciplinary field bridges materials science, chemistry, and biology, paving the way for next-generation dental therapies.
