METHODS FOR CUSTOMIZED DENTAL IMPLANTS FORMED OF A BIOMIMETIC COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

Methods and a composite material for the application of immediate tooth replacement include the step of processing human dentin from an extracted tooth and combining with a bioactive cement to form a biomimetic composite material that is reconstructed into a tooth form implant. The biomimetic composite material can be formed of a commercially available calcium silicate-based cement material that yields a composite material which is much closer in composition, color, and mechanical properties to natural teeth.
