Biomimetic dentistry in the anterior region direct composite restorations

The Bio-Emulation philosophy, as described in “structural analysis” and “visual synthesis,” has established new foundations for replicating natural structures with dental materials. The penta_laminar concept represents the highest expression of this philosophy: analyzing different stages of aging to create a dynamic color concept that adapts to nature. However, the application of this concept is challenged by its complexity, making it not easily accessible in all clinical conditions. By analyzing the most significant factors of tissue aging and applying this knowledge to material selection, it is possible to simplify the technique and make it applicable in any situation.

Achieving aesthetic restorations that resemble natural teeth represents a significant challenge for both dentists and dental technicians. Obtaining optimal results with the minimum number of trials or adjustments necessarily involves a systematic and thorough analysis of color. For this task, advanced photographic techniques are required, including different types of lighting and precise standardization of photographs.

Defining a solid strategy for composite color selection is of utmost importance in our daily work. The Bio-Emulation philosophy provides specific tools to dramatically enhance color-matching accuracy, including the personalized “custom_eyes” guides and the new eLAB protocol, which represents the pinnacle of precision in matching the color of natural teeth. This shifts from a traditionally subjective approach to one that is more objective and highly predictable.
