Biomimetic Dentistry is the use of Restorative techniques and materials to mimic (and preserve) the structure and function of natural teeth. Dr. Taylor Paton will discuss his journey in Biomimetic Dentistry: how it differs from Adhesive dentistry and how it can be used to develop innovative treatment strategies for patients.



In this episode we also discussed philosophies and guidelines following the literature for optimal bond strengths, so that your clinical protocols may benefit from Biomimetic principles.

Jaz's Introduction: What actually is Biomimetic dentistry? I think in the last few years it's become like a buzzword in clinical dentistry. Is it the same as adhesive dentistry? What is this decoupling time or decoupling with time? And how can we follow simple steps to improve our bond strengths?



Jaz’s Introduction:Because essentially, from my understanding of BIOMIMETIC DENTISTRY, it is like EXTREME BONDING. Basically, it's extreme adhesive bonding and using a set of philosophies and guidelines following the literature to get the best bond strengths possible. Today I've got on Dr. Taylor Paton, and I love him because he's a young dentist, like he's super young, and I respect that a lot because he's got something to share. He's got fantastic online resource, all about his passion and his learning and his journey with Biomimetic dentistry. And sometimes what happens in education is that the grand master, the king of any discipline within dentistry, they are so far removed from the plight and the struggles of that learner that sometimes they may not be the best person anymore to introduce someone to that topic.



So, I think Taylor, what he presents today is a young Scottish dentist and I just love his energy and his knowledge. You know how much I love geeky dentists, and so therefore I've got him to talk about Biomimetic dentistry, answering my questions from the lens of a young dentist who's just very well read up and very keen in this field, and that way he's also learning and therefore, as us, we are all learning together with him. I think this episode is more impactful as an introduction to Biomimetic Dentistry than if I got on an established superstar that's already well known. So, Taylor, keep up the good work, my friend.
