The Mission

Our driving force is to perpetuate the oral health of the patient and general population by proactive methods, including prevention and systematic maintenance of the dentition.

However, when we are forced to intervene, when we are meant to be reactive, our philosophy is to want to be able to rival nature, both optically and functionally, through evidence based, commonsensical and proven scientific techniques.

Hence, the Bio-Emulation^TM Group aims to focus on adhesive restorative modalities when applicable, with functional and optical integration always in mind, via analogue and/or digital workflows. ObSERVE, preSERVE and at all costs conSERVE the dental tissues, in order to better SERVE the patient.

So you want to be a Bio-Emulator?

Do you like to invest time and effort in developing new skills, staying updated with industry benchmark practices and seeking out opportunities for growth? Do you like to attend workshops, take courses, read scientific publications, or engage in networking events to expand your knowledge and expertise?

This active commitment to lifelong learning helps us stay relevant in our field and enhances our professional growth potential beyond dental school.

CoRE is an exciting new dental educational series designed for the dental practitioner who wants to level up their clinical workflows and outcomes.

Developed by practitioners for practitioners, this innovative educational series provides practical modular education, that is definitive and commonsensical. Upon completion of the educational series, the participant is provided the opportunity to join the Bio-Emulation Group.

The pathway to becoming a Bio-Emulator is an exciting experience, fuelled by passion and commitment to excellence. It empowers individuals to engage in productive habits, embrace continuous learning and seek self-improvement.

Becoming a Bio-Emulator is now available to all. Welcome to the Group!

The Vision

The Bio-Emulation^TM Group was founded in 2010 as an ideas think tank of like-minded individuals on social media, sparking dental disruptive innovation in the process, by connecting clinicians and technicians around the world for the purpose of exploring inter-disciplinary collaborations that ultimately directly benefit the health and well-being of the patient.

Rather than existing as separate individuals, we choose to come together as a dynamic hive mind, in order to share common resources, techniques, experience and knowledge, it has also developed as a way of describing how a global community comes together to share similar values in practice; ethos, excellence, emulation.

To be inspired by colleagues is great, yet to inspire colleagues is incredible.

Bio-Emulation™ Group

What does mean the term “Bio-Emulation™”? What is the concept/philosophy of Bio-Emulation™?

Bio-Emulation™ is a compound term, the preﬁx from the Greek word bios (life) and the suﬃx from Latin word aemulus (rival), having trademarked it in order to better describe the contemporary philosophy of restorative intervention and adhesive reconstruction of teeth. Bio-Emulation™’s driving force is to perpetuate the general oral health of the patient by proactive methods of prevention and systematic maintenance of the dentition. However, when we are forced to intervene, when we are meant to be reactive in our approach, our philosophy is to want to be able to rival nature, both optically and functionally through evidence based, commonsensical and proven scientiﬁc techniques.

What do we have to understand when emulating nature?

When dealing with restorative procedures, the mastery of spatial coronal and radicular histo-anatomy is paramount in striving to emulate nature. The other major component is to understand the dynamic maturation of enamel and dentin over time, simultaneously having a solid grasp on the optical and mechanical properties of the chosen restorative bio-material.

What do Bio-Emulation™ members teach at their courses? What do you want your participants

to learn when they attend your courses?

Bio-Emulation™ members have diﬀerent expertise areas and we respect individual and personal characteristics. As a group, the convergence point when teaching is an approach to the fundamental and elemental principles of whatever topic. Some random topics of interest may include digital dental imaging, adhesive technology, composite laminar techniques, details that makes the diﬀerence when dealing with indirect restorations, magniﬁcation - seeing is believing etc. Trying to unlock the mind of the participant, inviting them to think diﬀerently, changing their perception and awakening their scientiﬁc curiosity. The Bio-Emulation™‘s teaching approach very often bond together personal clinical experience and evidence-based scientiﬁc information without losing simplicity and reproducibility.

What would be described as the overall aim of a Bio-Emulation™ Symposium, and how does this course diﬀer from others?

The overall aim of a Symposium is to communicate a clear and practical message on many diﬀerent topics regarding clinical biomimetic dentistry. All of our lectures and workshops have a take-home message that can be applied immediately in daily practice. We are here to help others learn how to work according to the high quality standards in the dental clinical and technical realms, and we are always open for questions and suggestions. We strongly believe that sharing is the only way in which dentistry and science in general can evolve. And that is what we practice; there is no point in keeping the secrets for yourself, other than to feed your ego. We are not afraid to share, we encourage it.

Do you think that Bio-Emulation™ could change the way aesthetic dentistry is performed?

Obviously, that is our ultimate aim: to help people understand that another way of dentistry is possible, not only for aesthetic cases but also for daily work. Our philosophy is clear: we base our concepts on contemporary scientific observation of nature, not on subjective descriptions. That may possibly clash with traditional concepts established in times when materials were more limited and the application of the biomimetic principle was not feasible. However, we strongly believe in what we do and we are crazy enough to think we can change the world. Time will tell if we have accomplished this.

We would be satisfied if we can establish a new collaborative base upon which future generations of dentists could build a solid scientific foundation and finally achieve their ultimate clinical goals in the service of the patient.

Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry

Pascal Magne / Urs C. Belser

2nd Edition 2022
Book
Hardcover; Two-volumes book with slipcase; 21 x 28 cm, 888 pages, 2500 illus
Language: English

The first edition of this book took the dental world by storm in 2002 and became one of the bestselling Quintessence books of all time, and this edition will no doubt do the same. The book takes the science of esthetic dental reconstruction to a new level, both clinically and academically, and offers all that a clinician could wish for in terms of indications and the classic clinical steps for tooth preparation, laboratory and CAD/CAM procedures, adhesive luting procedures, and maintenance. But above all, what makes this book so unique is the underlying principle by which Pascal Magne lives: respect the natural structure and use that nature as your guide in restoration. The central philosophy of the book is the biomimetic principle—that is, the idea that the intact tooth in its ideal hues and shades, and perhaps more importantly in its intracoronal anatomy and location in the arch, is the guide to reconstruction and the determinant for success. Restoring or mimicking the biomechanical, structural, and esthetic integrity of teeth is paramount. Therefore, the objective of the book is to propose new criteria for esthetic restorative dentistry based on biomimetics. The driving forces of restorative dentistry are maintenance of tooth vitality and maximum conservation of intact hard tissues, and as such the book offers ultraconservative treatment options that can precede a more sophisticated treatment. The core of the book centers on the application of the biomimetic principle in the form of bonded restorations using composite resins and ceramics. The broad spectrum of indications of bonded restorations is described, followed by detailed instruction on the treatment planning and diagnostic approach, which is the first step for every case. The treatment is then described step by step, including tooth preparation and impression, laboratory and CAD/CAM procedures related to the fabrication of composite resin and ceramic workpieces, and their final insertion through adhesive luting procedures. Volume 1 covers the fundamentals and basic procedures, and Volume 2 focuses on advanced clinical techniques, maintenance, and repair of bonded restorations. QR codes throughout link to demonstrations of the techniques and dramatic videos highlighting the artistry of biomimetics. Written by a true master and true artist, this book will undoubtedly inspire excellence in anyone who picks it up.
