Abstract

Biomimetics is the science of imitating nature's designs and processes to create innovative solutions for various fields, including dentistry and craniofacial reconstruction. In these areas, biomimetics involves drawing inspiration from living organisms/systems to develop new materials, techniques, and devices that closely resemble natural tissue structures and enhance functionality. This field has successfully demonstrated its potential to revolutionize craniofacial procedures, significantly improving patient outcomes. In dentistry, biomimetics offers exciting possibilities for the advancement of new dental materials, restorative techniques, and regenerative potential. By analyzing the structure/composition of natural teeth and the surrounding tissues, researchers have developed restorative materials that mimic the properties of teeth, as well as regenerative techniques that might assist in repairing enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum, periodontal ligament, and bone. In craniofacial reconstruction, biomimetics plays a vital role in developing innovative solutions for facial trauma, congenital defects, and various conditions affecting the maxillofacial region. By studying the intricate composition and mechanical properties of the skull and facial bones, clinicians and engineers have been able to replicate natural structures leveraging computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and 3D printing. This has allowed for the creation of patient-specific scaffolds, implants, and prostheses that accurately fit a patient's anatomy. This review highlights the current evidence on the application of biomimetics in the fields of dentistry and craniofacial reconstruction.

颅面应用的仿生组织工程战略。
生物仿生学是一门模仿大自然的设计和过程,为包括牙科和颅面重建在内的各个领域创造创新解决方案的科学。在这些领域,生物仿生学包括从生物体/系统中汲取灵感,开发出与天然组织结构非常相似的新材料、新技术和新设备,并增强其功能。这一领域已成功证明了其彻底改变颅颌面手术的潜力,显著改善了患者的治疗效果。在牙科领域,生物仿生学为新型牙科材料、修复技术和再生潜力的发展提供了令人兴奋的可能性。通过分析天然牙齿和周围组织的结构/组成,研究人员开发出了可模仿牙齿特性的修复材料,以及可帮助修复珐琅质、牙本质、牙髓、骨水泥、牙周韧带和牙骨质的再生技术。在颅面重建方面,生物仿生学在为面部创伤、先天性缺损和影响颌面部的各种疾病开发创新解决方案方面发挥着至关重要的作用。通过研究颅骨和面部骨骼的复杂组成和机械性能,临床医生和工程师能够利用计算机辅助设计与制造(CAD/CAM)和三维打印技术复制天然结构。这样就能制造出精确符合患者解剖结构的患者特异性支架、植入物和假体。本综述重点介绍了生物仿生学在牙科和颅面重建领域的应用现状。
