Dental Biomaterials & Bioengineering

Bioengineering materials typically develop tissue-biomaterial interactions that suitably recapitulate a tissue or organ and assimilate well with surrounding tissues which can achieve the desired results in human patients and greatly improve their care. The dental applications of bioengineering materials have extensively broadened within the last few decades. The field of bioengineering materials needs to interchange towards new dental treatment concepts based on the fact of value-consciousness in the healthcare and biotechnology areas and utilizations that can create the future of this field. The biomaterials and technologies are not only replacing missing or damaged tissues but also the biomaterials and technologies are not only swapping missing or damaged tissues but also stimulating the tissue regeneration.  There are abundant areas of research that biomaterials and dental stem cells were used. They offer potential for tissue regeneration in dentin, periodontal ligament, dental pulp, and even enamel. Also the usage of dental stem cells as sources of cells to facilitate repair of nondental tissues such as bone and nerves has been introduced.
