A key term of biomimetic restorative dentistry, clearly defined. Part of The Hybrid Layer's free reference glossary.
The BioRim is the 2-3 mm of tooth structure (enamel, DEJ/DEC and superficial dentin) located above the position of the CEJ. In relation to the Compression Dome concept, the BioRim forms the base of the dome, and therefore preservation of the BioRim is important.
To learn more about the importance of preserving the BioRim, see Lesson 5 of the Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Dentistry.
Two lectures on preserving peripheral tooth structure like the BioRim: biomimetic cracked-teeth diagnosis and treatment, and a Class I biomimetic approach to conservative preparation.
