Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Dentistry

Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Dentistry merge advanced biological principles with dental care to restore or regenerate damaged tissues within the oral cavity. This interdisciplinary field leverages biomaterials, stem cells, and growth factors to address dental problems beyond traditional treatments, aiming for natural tissue restoration and enhanced healing. Key aspects include:

• Biomaterial Innovation: Development of biocompatible materials like scaffolds for tissue regeneration.
• Stem Cell Therapy: Utilization of stem cells to regenerate dental pulp, bone, and periodontal tissues.
• Growth Factor Applications: Application of growth factors to promote tissue repair and regeneration.
• Clinical Applications: Implementation in treatments like periodontal regeneration and dental implantology, improving outcomes and patient satisfaction.

This innovative approach not only aims to repair damaged tissues but also seeks to recreate the natural functionality and aesthetics of oral structures, promising a future where dental care goes beyond repair to regeneration.
