In today's era of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering,
biologically based therapies are needed to regenerate or repair
natural dental tissues. Advances in the understanding of tooth
development in molecular biology and cell biology have set a stage
for efforts to develop strategies for regenerating dentin and pulp.
This book beautifully reviews events occurring during the normal
development of dentin-pulp complex. An insight into the basic
knowledge of tissue engineering, including key elements i.e. stem
cells, growth factors and scaffolds is presented. Latest research
oriented advances in regeneration of dental tissues from the use of
simple blood clot revascularization to more complex treatments like
creation of tissue engineered dental pulp scaffolds in laboratory
and implanting them into cleaned and shaped root canals has been
discussed. As regeneration of dentin-pulp complex is still in its
budding stage, various challenges encountered during these
procedures have also been highlighted. We hope that this book would
be an interesting and informative experience for the readers
seeking knowledge in this field of recreating and repairing the
lost/damaged dental tissues.
