Description: Dentin Biomodification explores the molecular and biomaterials-based strategies designed to enhance the structural stability, mechanical integrity, and long-term durability of dentin. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of collagen matrix chemistry, enzymatic degradation pathways, matrix metalloproteinase inhibition, cross-linking agents, and bioactive remineralization technologies. Emphasis is placed on nano-mechanical reinforcement of the hybrid layer, interfacial chemistry, and physicochemical modulation of the resin-dentin interface. Contemporary advances in biomaterials science, including natural and synthetic cross-linkers, nanotechnology-driven delivery systems, and bioactive restorative materials, are critically discussed with translational relevance. Integrating fundamental molecular mechanisms with clinical implications, this book serves as a scientific guide to improve adhesive longevity and optimize restorative outcomes through evidence-based dentin engineering approaches.
