Review on Tissue engineering in oral and maxillofacial Surgery

Abstract

Tissue engineering incorporates cellular and molecular biology into building materials and engineering to replace damaged or diseased organs and tissues. Dental damage due to periodontal disease, tooth decay, trauma or various genetic disorders can continue to affect many adults at some point in their lives. Recent advances in dentistry include the production and use of platelet-rich plasma, the measurement of platelet congestion, and the growth factors found in platelets. The real challenge of tissue engineering in clinical care is to reduce the risk of surgery using better biological signals from patient cells or biosynthetic components that may require replacement of lost organs or individual tissues. Repairs can be completed without taking over. Today, the field of tissue engineering is growing rapidly considering the many areas of basic research used in tissue engineering, such as growth factors, release-controlled vehicles, and biomaterials, as well as cells and scaffolding.
