Regenerative Medicine Technologies in Dentistry: Tissue Engineering in Dental Implantation

Abstract

In recent years, regenerative medicine technologies, especially tissue engineering, have been increasingly used in dental implant surgeries. This review examines the main bioengineering trends that contribute to the success and longevity of dental implants. Since traditional implantation methods often face problems associated with insufficient integration of the implant into the alveolar bone tissue, innovative approaches such as the use of modified biomaterials, stem cells and growth factors open new horizons for improving clinical outcomes. Particular attention is paid to the development of multifunctional biomaterials that promote bone-tissue regeneration and improve osseointegration. Methods aimed at creating three-dimensional structures that imitate natural tissues are also considered. The review emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach that integrates knowledge from biology, engineering, and dentistry, which, in turn, facilitates the creation of individualized treatment strategies. In conclusion, this review highlights the importance of further research in tissue engineering to achieve higher standards in dental implantation and patient quality of life.
