Abstract
In recent years, innovative dental biomaterials have revolutionized the field of dentistry, offering new possibilities for advancing oral health care. These materials, ranging from biocompatible polymers to nanomaterials, have shown promising results in various dental applications such as restorations, prostheses, and tissue engineering. This essay explores the potential of these biomaterials in improving patient outcomes, enhancing treatment options, and shaping the future of dentistry. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, this paper discusses the latest developments in dental biomaterials, their properties, and applications, highlighting their impact on oral health care. The findings suggest that innovative dental biomaterials hold great promise for the future of dentistry, offering new opportunities for personalized, minimally-invasive, and highly effective treatments.
