Nature, an Alternative Remedy to Synthetic Bio-materials in Conservative Dentistry

A better way: In nature lies the solution. The management of dental challenges is presented from a new perspective. There are evidence-based solutions to dental challenges for researchers, practitioners and dental service providers. The main attribute of all these solutions is that all of them are derived from natural ingredients as an effective alternative management away from synthetic products that have multiple side effects. Natural products such as anti-cariogenic agents, natural enamel and dentin remineralizing agents, natural dentin bio-modifiers, natural desensitizing agents, natural vital pulp therapeutic agents, natural antioxidants, and natural bleaching agents provide practitioners with an insightful look at the prevention and management of diseases through evidence-based interventions as an alternative treatment to synthetic one.
