Dentistry is an ever evolving branch with continuous stipulation for advancements in dental materials. From the dawn of history, dental practitioners have been in the quest of ideal restorative dental materials. Initially ideal restorative materials were thought to be biologically inert and biocompatible but in the last two decades bioactive materials seem to be alternative to these inert biocompatible materials.Biomaterial refers to any material intended to interact with biological systems within or on the human body. The biomaterials and technologies are not only replacing missing or damaged tissues but also promoting the tissue regeneration.It is important to choose most appropriate material for the regeneration of the tooth structure via biomimetic processes. In other words, to choose the appropriate dental materials and its successful clinical use directly affect treatment outcome and long term results.
