Abstract

Composite resin is a widely used restorative material in modern dentistry due to its advantages in aesthetics, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. How-ever, its clinical performance is challenged by issues such as bond degradation, polymerization shrinkage, and microleakage. Innovations in composite re-sin development have focused on the incorporation of bioactive materials, including marine-derived minerals. Marine minerals such as hydroxyapatite from fish bones, calcium carbonate from shells and corals, and silica from marine diatoms have been explored as fillers or sources of active ions to enhance remi-neralization potential and improve restoration durability. This review aims to examine the current literature on the impact of marine mineral incorporation into composite resins on the remineralization of dental structures and the mechanical performance of restorations. Findings suggest that marine minerals, parti-cularly in nanoparticle form, can enhance calcium and phosphate ion release, promote the repair of demineralized tooth structures, and exhibit antibacterial effects. Nonetheless, further clinical studies are required to support the broader implementation of these materials in dental practice.

Abstract

The use of synthetic materials in dentistry often leads to problems with medical waste that is difficult to degrade and the risk of infection due to suboptimal mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Acrylic resin, for example, is prone to fracture and can become a breeding ground for microorganisms that cause denture stomatitis. Furthermore, the use of denture adhesives can cause mucosal irritation and increase the risk of infection. This article evaluates the potential of seaweed biopolymers as an environmentally friendly, biocompatible, and multifunctional alternative material in dentistry. Seaweed biopoly-mers are expected to address waste issues and support clinical applications such as dental impression materials, tissue scaffolds, and drug delivery sys-tems effectively and safely. Consequently, the use of seaweed biopolymers can promote more sustainable and innovative dental practices. It is conclu-ded that seaweed biopolymers are environmentally friendly, biocompatible, and multifunctional alternative material for dentistry. Further research is required to optimise their clinical applications
