چکیده

Mimicry in the field of science involves reproducing or copying a model, a reference. If we as dentists want to replace what has been lost, we need to agree on what is the correct reference. The accepted frame of reference must be the same for the entire profession, and it should be timeless and unchanging success. Age, disease and traditional restorations can cause further problems to the existing tooth structure. As teeth do not have natural method of repair, Biomimetic principles should be used to artificially repair the tooth to its natural functions and aesthetics. Biomimetics is an emerging inter disciplinary field that combines information from the study of biological structures and their function with Physics Mathematics Chemistry and Engineering in the development of principles that are important for the generation of novel synthetic materials and organs. Biomimetic Dentistry is based on the philosophy that the intact tooth in its ideal hues and shades and, more importantly, its intracoronal anatomy, mechanics and location in the arch, is the guide to reconstruction and the determinant. In Biomimetic Dentistry there are two aspects .One, the lost or missing dental tissue is restored, leading to the full return of function and aesthetics to the tooth or the material used can regenerate, replicate or mimic the missing dental tissue. This review will attempt to provide a better understanding of the relative position of the Biomimetic materials in the context of the past and present Dental materials.
