Episode Details

Biomimetic dentistry aims to mimic a natural tooth throughout the restorative process. The last four decades of research has shown that mimicking and conserving a tooth’s natural connection to itself, its natural bond and resilience to occlusal forces and its natural defense mechanisms for infection benefits the tooth’s long-term health. This is also true for occlusion.

In this episode, Dr. David Alleman discusses what all dentists can learn from a body’s natural occlusion, lost research from the last few decades and approaches for daily occlusal techniques that can be applied to cases doctors regularly see in their office.
