Significant demands are made on the reconstruction and repair of diseased and malfunctioned tissues in the complexity of tooth structure. Regenerative treatments, opposing to conventional restorative therapies, are now becoming an emerging area of interest to recover the native tissue structure and biological / mechanical functions. Many classes of polymeric materials and composites/hybrids as well as their engineered constructs with celllular or extracellular components have been gaining promises through the in vitro / in vivo studies, particularly in the regime of implantology, periodontal pocket, alveolar bones and dentin-pulp complexity. Some of them are waiting to be proven clinically relevant performance while many other tissue-specific replacements are still in development for the near future uses. This work covers the research development and future aspects on the biomaterials targeting regenerative dentistry, which includes bioactive bone grafts, scaffolds and constructs for dental tissue engineering, active membranes guiding periodontal pocket, and pulp regeneratives and delivery systems. |
