Restorative dentistry has undergone significant advancements over the past century. Traditional approaches often required the removal of excessive healthy tooth structure and relied on rigid restorative materials, which weakened the tooth and reduced the lifespan of restorations. The modern concept of biomimetic restorative dentistry aims to replicate the natural structure and function of the tooth using advanced adhesive techniques. In the present case, a biomimetic protocol was employed to manage deep caries in a vital posterior tooth. The approach involved selective caries removal, immediate dentin sealing, and reinforcement with Ribbond and EverX Flow. The goal of this technique was to maximize bond strength, preserve pulp vitality, maintain a long-term marginal seal, and minimize residual stress. This case illustrates the effectiveness of biomimetic principles in achieving durable and biologically sound restorations.
