Abstract
CURBELO, Sofia; MENESES, Romina; PEREIRA-PRADO, Vanesa and TAPIA, Gabriel. Bone regeneration as an example of tissue engineering in dentistry, with an emphasis on the development of scaffolds. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.36, pp.74-86. Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 0797-0374. https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2020n36a9.
Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary scientific area that has the therapeutic purpose of restoring, replacing, or increasing the functional activities of organic tissues.
Objective:
This work aims to review the literature on tissue engineering in oral and maxillofacial procedures.
Methods:
A bibliographic search was conducted in PubMed MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and LILACS, using the terms “stem cells,” “bone regeneration,” and “tissue growth factors.”
Results:
In total, 193 positive results were obtained, of which 24 were used for this paper.
Discussion:
Several biomaterials capable of promoting bone neoformation have been described. They need to be adequately manipulated and have the right architecture and achieve the synergy of the various properties.
Conclusions:
Scaffolds have the widest uses, and selecting one does not depend on the material itself.
Keywords : tissue engineering; stem cells; bone regeneration; growth factors.
