Abstract:

Contemporary dentistry restores missing teeth by dentures or dental implants, both associated with their own limitations. To overcome these, tooth engineering a novel concept of regenerating a whole new tooth is under current research. It may revolutionize the oral health care system and quality of life for millions of people. It needs stem cells, biodegradable scaffold materials and signalling molecules. Stem cells are essentially the building blocks of a body and have a unique ability to renew themselves and give rise to the more specialized cell types. They can be delivered upon scaffolds that provide biophysical support for cell recruitment, adhesion proliferation, differentiation, and metabolism. Appropriate exogenous signals can be given to regenerate a tooth de novo within the oral cavity. We hope that the rapid scientific and technological advancement will provide new information and solutions that will allow regenerated teeth to become a routine treatment for individuals with missing teeth.
