Biological systems represent millions of years of trial-and-error learning through natural selection according to the most stringent of metrics:survival. ‘Biomimetics’ may be defined as the practice of ‘reverse engineering’ ideas and concepts from nature and implementing them in a field of technology. This reverse engineering has recently attracted significant research due to an increasing realisation that many of the problems faced by engineers are similar to those already solved by nature. 

Key words: Biomimetic dentistry,traditional dentistry, Tissue engineering.
