Statement of problem: Dental biomaterial has evolved over years with progression from more bioinert materials to bioactive materials and following the trends into cellular and molecular response.
Objective: An ideal biomaterial has favorable biological response leading into regeneration of lost tissue. So the evolving nature of these materials are of interest of compilation.
Materials and Methods: A hand and online search of literature is followed and of recent developments on a specific topic as reported in the literature is done
Conclusion: Biomaterial is used to make devices to replace a part or a function of the body in a safe, reliable, economic, and physiologically acceptable manner
