How a simple smile can change your life? A

world where you could not smile confidently or
taste your favorite food will not be the perfect
world. Beyond the aesthetic, oral healthcare is the
core of your well-being. It is not really about looks,
it is about feeling your best. Biotechnology has
brought in a better dental care which is now more
precise and tailored to each person’s needs. It
continue to drive the evolution of dentistry;
ensuring healthier smiles for all. Biotechnology has
a big influence on dentistry, especially in
personalized treatments and overall oral healthcare.

To start with, and before jumping to the role
of biotechnology in the medical fields especially
in dentistry, it is imperative to acknowledge that
the evolution of dentistry goes back to 7000BC
with the Indus valley civilization; dentistry was
one of the oldest medical professions then,
nevertheless the descriptions related to dentistry
and tooth decay were accessible in 5000BC
where they found an text -was not proven false
until the 1700s- describing tooth worms as the
cause of dental decay. -1- In addition, there are
some proofs that human tried to replace missing
teeth with roots from implants for thousands of
years. Furthermore in 500BC was the start of
true restorative dentistry with the Etruscans,
inhabitants of the regions now named central
and northern Italy. The Etruscan who made a
plethora of dental bridges and partial dentures
crafted from gold.-5- The history of evolution of
dentistry shows how much humans were
interested on oral healthcare, and how dental
care has developed over the years.
In the other hand, biotechnology is the
discipline that unites the biological
sciences and engineering sciences in
order to benefit the human health and
society with its new products, methods,
and organisms. This field has 4 types,
one of them is medical or clinical
biotechnology which plays a role in
dentistry; in this context, biotech has
made an evolution and so many
improvements in tissue engineering,
biomaterials, alveolar bone
regeneration, stem cell transplantation,
and antiviral therapies in which make
the dental care easier.

Following that , biotechnology and
dentistry are having a lot of advancements; in
another way the recent developments in
biotechnology had helped dentistry itself to be
more developed and easier. It facilitates the
studies and the work for dental researchers to
visualize the structural and biophysical
changes. First of all; biotechnology had helped
the evolution of 3D Dental Imagining, this
technique refers to the use of three
dimensional technologies to see detailed
images of the teeth, jaw, and the other
structures that surrounds them. It gives a clear
and explained views compared to traditional
two dimensional (2D) dental X-rays. Three-
dimensional (3D) imaging has been developed
in the early of 1990's and with that it started to
have a precious place in dentistry. Cone-Beam
Computed Tomography (CBCT) is one of the
most appraised 3D imaging techniques; it has
a reduced radiation expose compared the
traditional dental scanners or imaging. It
allows the dentist to make better diagnosis and
treatment plan. CBCT is applied in
Orthodontics, Implantology, Endodontics, and
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Biotechnology has also a big role in Laser
Scanning Microscopy (LSM) which is a non-
destructive technique that allows dentists to
visualize the microscopic features on the tooth
surface, for example caries and tooth
morphology. LSM can achieve a high
resolution so researches can visualize
structures at the subcellular level. Confocal
laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is a
benificaiant tool in dentistry research, its
applications include the examination of dental
biofilms, enamel, and dentin, so it can also be
used to discover tooth germs. Biotechnology
has facilitated the development of advanced
LSM techniques, such as multiphoton
microscopy and multiphoton laser scanning
microscopy (NIR-LSM), which provide
increased resolution power, and optical
sectioning capability.
In addition, dentists can use the Computer
Assisted Image Analysis with this technique,
dentists can study the longitudinal changes in
the alveolar bone which is the part of the jaw
bone that is around and supports the teeth. It
forms the sockets (alveoli) that hold the roots
of the teeth in place. This technique can
detected dental diseases like tumors and dental
cysts just from panoramic radiography, also
AI models are used to find dental anomalies,
like cavities, tooth fracture and to watch tooth
development .
Jumping to Scanning Electron Microscopy
(SEM) and Transmission Electron
Microscopy (TEM), SEM and TEM are
traditional techniques that have been used in
dental researches for so many years, but now
both of them are more developed thanks to
biotechnology which allowed researchers to
have higher resolution and better quality
images. They play a role in examining dental
tissues and materials at a microscopic and
nanoscopic level. For better understanding
SEM is use to examine the surface of the
teeth, dental implants, to study tooth wear,
abrasion, and erosion. It allows for detailed
examination of changes in tooth surfaces,

and to study microbial adhesion to dental surfaces
and the formation of dental plaque.
