Enamel and dentin engineering have become an increasingly important area of focus in modern dentistry, aimed at restoring the structural integrity and functionality of damaged tooth tissues. Biomimicry has developed promising solutions for materials that mimic the natural structure of teeth. This study explores the new advances in biomaterials for enamel and dentin regeneration. The primary observations suggest that emerging biomaterials (bioactive Glass, nanohydroxyapatite, collagen-based composites) have better biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and remineralization potential than traditional restorative materials. Since newer biomaterials are considered a relatively recent generation, they are the superior choice for long-term dental regeneration, offering more durable and aesthetically pleasing results. However, concerns remain about their clinical applicability and long-term retention in the oral environment, which is inherently dynamic. This research thus promotes biomimetic materials once again as having the ability to change the restorative scenario and being a step ahead in regenerative dentistry.
