Abstract:

Polyamide-amine (PAMAM) dendrimer, a new hyperbranched macromolecular polymer, is considered an “artificial protein” by many scholars on account of its excellent chemical and biological characteristics. PAMAM has internal cavities and a large number of reactive terminal groups. These structures allow the polymer to be used as a bionic macromoleculethat could simulate the biomimetic mineralization of the natural organic matrix on the surface of tooth tissue. Specifically, PAMAM can beused as an organic template to regulate mineral nucleation and crystal growth; thus, the polymerisa more ideal dental restoration material than traditional allogenic materials. This article reviews research progress on thePAMAM-induced biomimetic mineralization of hard tooth tissues.

Key words: polyamide-amine dendrimer, biomimetic mineralization, hard tooth tissue
