Dentistry is one of the first fields where artificial biomaterials were used for the treatment of diseased tissues. Recent developments in the areas of biomaterials and biomedical devices have resulted in a number of advances in dentistry. In particular, research has focused on novel biomacromolecules and biocompatible materials for use in dentistry and clinical applications. Because different biomacromolecules possess a variety of properties, exploring ways of how to weigh the respective advantages of different components on one type of biomaterial has become increasingly important in the field of biomaterials.
