DENTAL MATERIALS, METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME, AND ARTICLES FORMED THEREFROM

摘要

Disclosed herein is a dental material composition comprising a polymer matrix material and a biocatalyst that promotes the deposition of a mineral, for example silica or hydroxylapatite. A dental restoration comprising the polymer matrix material and biocatalyst is also claimed. In another embodiment, a method of forming a dental material comprises combining a biocatalyst that promotes the deposition of a mineral and a polymer matrix material to form a biocatalyst-polymer composite.
