Abstract

Dental Hypersensitivity is the most commonly encountered dental problems associated with short, sharp painrising from exposed dentine in response to stimuli such as tactile, osmotic and chemical. Hypersensitivitymay present on several teeth, in one area of the mouth, or on one specific tooth. DHS should be differentiatedfrom another tooth sensitivity which may elicit from other clinical conditions such as dental caries,microleakage, cracked tooth or fractured restorations. Several treatment strategies such as desensitizationof nerve endings, masking of dentin tubules, occlusion of dentin tubules, and iontophoresis, are prevalentin clinical practices. Stannous ions, most commonly used in toothpastes as stannous fluoride, have beendemonstrated to occlude dentine tubules in vitro. SnF2 toothpaste formulations have been used for severaldecades and are widely accepted as an effective DH treatment. Recently advanced nanotechnology has takena wide leap in improving the various measures in the treatment of hypersensitivity by its nano particles.Nano structures have superior hardness, elasticity and flexural strength leading to its better application.Biomimetic particles desensitizing effect of nanocrystals which is caused by the progressive closure of thetubular openings of the dentine with plugs. These advancements have progressed the growth in the treatmentof Dental Hypersensitivity and have evoked a great amount of attention for improving disease prevention.

Abstract

In 1950, while researching the nerves in a squid, Otto Schmitt coined the word “Biomimetics” It meansimitating life, literally. To seek to mimic or reproduce it artificially to preserve the same esthetics or work is thestudy of natural structural processes. Since tooth structure has no natural means for restoration, biomimeticmethods can be implied to restore the teeth mechanically to its normal function and esthetics. There are twothings of biomimetic dentistry. First, the damaged or absent dental tissue is replaced, leading to completerestoration to the tooth of function and aesthetics. And the substance used will regenerate the damaged dentaltissue, replicate and imitate it. The bio-compliant and Physico-chemical products of biomimetic materialhave the benefits of improved biocompatibility, sealing ability, high strength, antibacterial properties andare used to preserve long term esthetic and restoring techniques. Recent biomimetic technologies haveestablished the potential to transcend various considerable drawbacks of technologies of a previous age. Thisstudy would seek to provide a clearer explanation for biomimetic materials ‘relative role in the sense of pastand current dental materials.
