Help me if anybody has knowledge on such a polymer/ingredients that can be used as cement in the dental wound, bone repairing and teeth repairing.
"Implants can look and feel like natural teeth. An implant simply is a metallic titanium object that is inserted into your jawbone to act like a natural tooth-root. Titanium isn’t recognized by the body’s immune system, so it is not rejected as an implant. It integrates with the jawbone to give a firm support to the artificial replacement that it will support."
Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) cement is used in dental applications. But, it is basically Portland cement with some extra bismuth oxide. See:
