Tissue Engineering in Oral Medicine. Current Approach and Major Challenges

      Аннотация: Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field of study, which employs the principles of engineering and life science to develop the biological components, which need to be healed or improved. Furthermore, this field is based on three fundamental principles, namely: the cell, growth factors and scaffolds. In Dentistry, there is need for regenerative therapies that would be capable of recovering the function of tissues lost due to oral, maxillofacial and dental pathologies of traumatic, inflammatory and neoplastic origin and diseases of endodontic, periodontal, among others.
