Amalgam restorations are known to last decades, but they eventually lead to catastrophic failures. 😱 These restorations fail to restore the tooth’s essential biomechanics and structural integrity. 😔 Teeth with amalgam restorations have significantly reduced stiffness compared to intact teeth, resulting in unnatural stress concentrations over time. ⚠️ Eventually, this leads to cracks and fractures. 🥖💥



🔍 Understanding the significance of structural integrity and biomechanics is key component of biomimetic dentistry. 🌿 The goal for restorative dentistry is to RESTORE teeth. Mimicking the natural tooth properties and restoring the structural integrity and biomechanics of the natural tooth are essential for maximum success. By prioritizing these aspects, biomimetic restorations not only address the cavity but also reinforce the tooth’s strength and minimize the risk of catastrophic fractures. 💪🛡️ This increases the chances of long-term success and prevents loss of teeth over a lifetime.
