dc.description.abstract | Biomaterial is played role in development of medical equipments, prosthesis, reparation technique, tissue
engineering, drug delivery and diagnostic tools. Biomaterial in mixed forms or called composite is usually used for
those applications. Based on matrix characteristic, composite is divided into two groups, absorbable and nonabsorbable.
This
classification
is based
on their ability
to absorb.
This
study
was
aimed
to
review
the
use of
absorbable
composite
matrix
in
dentistry.
The absorbable
composite
matrix
was
able
to
improve
and
replaced
bone
tissue
or
craniofacial.
Absorbable
composite
was
able
to
prevent
infection
and
tissue
shrinkage,
so
it
can
replace
the
esthetic.
Absorbable
composite
can
be used
in operative
dentistry
and prosthodontia
as filling
materials
and
denture.
It
was
concluded
that
absorbable
composite
matrix
could be used
widely
in
dentistry. | en_US |
